![Trouble at mill, Houghton Mill. Trouble for a motorist in the mill pond at Houghton. According to the local paper the driver was unhurt if a little shaken. The Renault Scenic demolished a flood wall and came to rest on a reed bed.

![Catch of the Day, Houghton millpond. I don't know what bait you use on the end of a HIAB but to land a Renault Scenic out of Houghton mill pond is quite something.
