HEREFORDSHIRE'S landscape dramatically changed as the worst floods for many decades hit the county.
"These have been the worst floods in living memory," said Robert Blower, of Herefordshire Council. "The county had at least 100 extra rivers on Friday that it did not have before and some of them were running at right angles to roads."
The council also reported more than 100 road closures as villages which have never flooded were badly hit.
"The last time Hampton Bishop was hit was in the 1960s," said Mr Blower. "But that was not as bad as this. Roads and villages that never flood have been flooded this time."
