Dyserth Floods
The River Ffyddion in Dyserth has flooded many times over the years, quite dramatically in 2000 when it was caught on video by Richard Jones, and again in 2023. Many houses were flooded and the water can be seen up to the windowsills of the New Inn in some of the photos. Thanks to Richard Jones for permission to use the video from 2000. The video from 2000 and photos of floods over the years can be seen in the Old Photo Gallery Following are some press cuttings - there may well be others but these were all I could find
