Images from around Station Road and the Fishponds on 20 July 2007 - and a rueful reminder of the Environment Agency map. According to the Environment Agency, the lighter shade of blue shows "extent of extreme flood" - though photos taken in 2007 within the Eastern Bypass suggest a review may be necessary.
The slideshow also covers later scenes on the A40 and Cassington Road; and from Oxford Road to the Tollbridge.
UPDATE 2009: the Environment Agency map has been redrawn to reflect experience on the ground, though ironically too late to halt housing development inside the B4449 Eynsham bypass.
The Environment Agency has also published a Flooding Information Sheet >>
