A nature reserve and popular recreation area in north Bristol was under several feet of water for the whole of Friday (October 11) after heavy rain overnight created a huge lake.
The paths, walkways and park area of the Three Brooks Nature Reserve were completely flooded when the three brooks that give it its name burst their banks.
The nature reserve was created as a flood plain in the middle of the Bradley Stoke development, and is bordered by the M4 to the north east, the Juniper Way development to the south and Bradley Stoke community school to the west.
The Patchway Brook and Stoke Brook flow into the Three Brooks Lake, and the Bradley Brook flows out and under the M4, and eventually into the River Frome and on down into Bristol.
But on Friday morning, local residents awoke to find pretty much the entire area was under water - including all the paths and walkways that run along the normally shallow brooks.
The flooding has led some residents to call for better flood warning signage to be installed by South Gloucestershire Council, to let people know when the lake and the brooks take over the whole nature reserve.
Some other residents on social media called for the lake to be dredged to prevent it happening again.
