The Environment Agency (EA) says it's trying to assess the impact of yesterday's snow on already flooded villages along the banks of the River Ouse south of York.

The river is currently 4.32m above its normal level in York and is expected to peak at 4.7m at 05:00 tomorrow.

That level in York means there is a higher risk of flooding downstream from the city, at villages such as Naburn, Acaster Selby and Cawood (pictured above).

Frank Deplanter, from the EA, says: "Cawood Ings is filling up quickly and nearby Kellfield Ings is now absolutely rammed full of water.

"What we're trying to establish is what's the impact of the snow melt yesterday.

"If it comes through York and goes onto Cawood, with the influence of the spring tide coming the other way, what's it going to do there? So, we need to plan just in case."

She said: "It was an icon. It was a shop that brought so much pleasure to children. It was like a big playground.

"That's why I'm here today, because I feel it should be remembered. I'm very proud."
