Even Taplow Heights, alias Rectory Road, did not escape the effects of the flooding. Our aged soakaway system was completely overwhelmed, so that gallons of water gushed up out of the manholes in spectacular style. A huge torrent flowed straight down the drive, taking most of the gravel out on to the road and depositing it across the tarmac. It was just as my geography teacher described the formation of the Ganges delta.
