Pedestrians are also seen wading in the water and cyclists can be seen attempting to navigate the flood. We also see shop frontages for Henry Playfair Ltd, Hepworth's and P. R. Rowell and Sons. The remainder of the reel shows more frontages of Rowell and Sons stores (which may not all be the Worksop branch). At one shop alterations are underway.
