Nottinghamshire residents should take 'immediate action' to protect their properties after serious flood warnings and alerts have been issued.
The Environment Agency has issued warnings and alerts for a number of locations along the River Trent, which is at risk of breaching its banks as a result of heavy rainfall this week.
A serious warning has been issued for the River Trent at Carlton-on-Trent, including Beck Cottage.
This reads: "River levels are rising at the Torksey river gauge as a result of high tides coinciding with high river levels.
"Consequently, flooding is expected on the high tide from 9am this morning and subsequent high tides until Friday. Areas most at risk are Carlton-on-Trent including Beck Cottage.
"Further rainfall is forecast for Thursday, 14/11/2019. We expect river levels to remain high until the weekend.
"Please move possessions and valuables off the ground or to safety and turn off gas, electricity and water."
Additional flood alerts - which means flooding is possible, but not expected - has been issued across Nottinghamshire.
Members of the public are advised to avoid using low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
