The River Severn was continuing to rise in Shrewsbury on Monday afternoon as the Environment Agency continued installing flood barriers at Frankwell in the town.

Our photographer visited Shrewsbury on Monday as the water continued to edge higher, with some footpaths closed.

The Environment Agency is asking the public to avoid using low-lying footpaths near local watercourses and to plan driving routes to avoid low-lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded.
