Heavy rain from Storm Christoph has caused the River Trent in Derbyshire to burst its banks and forced people to evacuate their homes.

Footage filmed on Friday (January 22) showed concerned residents rescuing their horses from floodwater in Shardlow.

Some vehicles in Shardlow marina were also caught in floodwater.

The river trent in Derbyshire was seen heavily flooded today as people evacuated their homes and worked from 3am to save horses from flood water in Shardlow. It comes a day after much of the river derwent flooding peaked. Areas of the Derwent seen the previous day flooded were today seen clear again after the water made its way through Derbyshire and into the river Trent. A country park however was still closed as its car park and access road remained flooded.

House boats at Shardlow marina were also seen in heavy flooding as a number of residence cars were seen underwater as a result of storm Christoph rainfall.

The river trent at Sawley Marina in Derbyshire was seen very high this evening (22/01/21) as water from the river Derwent made its way down stream and into the river which runs through Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire before reaching the sea.

Cows were seen cut off in the middle of a farmers field as flood water surrounded them.

The canal path at Sawley was also flooded with parts of it having collapse due the speed of the water.
