A great jet of water pouring over the river and Oxford Terrace prompted me to investigate.
It turned out to be a Fire Brigade Training exercise. They simply lift up the cover of a fire hydrant and plug into the water main. The bright sunlight provided a rainbow in the water.
The firemen assured me they were kindly washing the road. When I inquired what might happen to any car coming down Oxford Terrace from Hurley Street they demonstrated how they could change the direction of the water flow. It’s good to know the brigade is prepared for all kinds of fires.
“I went across to see because
I wondered what the water was.”

sounds a bit like the floods in Edgecombe….but pouring in a contained space….

It was certainly a strange sight that caught my eye out the kitchen window.
