The extent of flooding in Newark has been photographed from 2,000ft.

Rob Turner took aerial photos of the flooded River Trent yesterday (January 4), which show the extent of the flooding in and around Newark.

The after-effects of Storm Henk continue to affect the area, with the Trent continuing to rise throughout the day to reach a height of 2.63m at Farndon by midnight last night.
