Holme Strays managed realignment of the Humber bank, completed
in September 2003 creating extensive new wetlands. The old river
bank is to the right and the breach created to allow the land
to flood can clearly be seen. This panorama was taken from near
the trees in the *photo above left; the drain in the *central
photo used to cut across the Strays and emerged by the right-hand
lighthouse but is now no longer there (this area is now completely
flooded), and the farmhouse in the *right-hand photo above was
once surrounded by fields but is now just inside the new bank
and the fields in front of it are those on the left of the panorama
and now mostly under water.
