More homes and businesses in the East Midlands are likely to fall victim to flooding in the coming weeks and months, the Environment Agency has warned.

The organisation said its teams had been working 24 hours a day to deal with problems caused by last week's huge downfalls.

At least 75 properties flooded in Nottinghamshire - including 50 in Worksop - and 39 homes and businesses were flooded in Derbyshire.

The agency warned with many areas of ground "completely saturated" and further heavy rain forecast, there was a "high probability" more people would be affected later this week and in the months to follow.

Louise Cresswell, East Midlands area manager, said: "Further rain on Thursday and Friday may bring severe impacts from surface water and river flooding to parts of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

"People should remain vigilant, follow the advice of the emergency services, check their flood risk and plan to stay safe.

"We advise people to stay away from swollen rivers and not to walk or drive through flood water."

A 200-year-old set of false teeth discovered by a metal detectorist are to go under the hammer in Derbyshire.

The dentures - made from gold and possibly hippo ivory - were found beneath a field in Buckinghamshire in March.

Peter Cross, who made the discovery, said he had been told they dated from the period 1800 to 1850 and were likely to have belonged to a very wealthy person.

Mark Becher, metal detector finds consultant at Hansons, said: "The front six teeth have retained the enamel of the tusk to give the effect of the surface of a tooth – though I doubt they'll be in a Colgate advert anytime soon.

"The dentures were incredibly advanced for the period and an amazing find for any metal detectorist to get their teeth into.”

They are expected to fetch up to £7,000 when they are auctioned in Etwall, Derbyshire, on 25 November.
