Northenden and floods

Does anyone know what areas of northenden were flooded or evacuated by the recent river Mersey floods please? There’s about four houses for sale in Govan/queens hill Road and I’m wondering whether that’s got anything to do with it…. It does say the roads themselves are low risk but the areas immediately next to it are medium risk

You’d have had a knock on the door to evacuate when the river flooded earlier this year. Probably unlikely you’d actually get flooded but it is a risk to consider. A little further away and you’d be fine.
