Donna and Gareth Smith live in a picture postcard cottage in Ladywood - across the river from the Wharfage.

After escaping the floods last week they were not so lucky on Monday night when the water seeped not through the doors but through the floor.

They say neighbours have suffered even worse damage to their properties.
