Flooding is an ever-present risk along this part of the Great Ouse, and Houghton
Mill, upstream of St Ives, is pictured here during the Easter flood of 1998. The
timber-built watermill, owned by the National Trust, has its machinery intact, and
major restoration work was carried out in 1998-9. There is regular milling and
flour for sale, and it now houses an art gallery.
