After a three-hour-long storm on Sunday 14 June 1914 the sewer overflowed again and flooded houses along its path from Elder Road to Chestnut Road , and locals were forced to evacuate their homes for several days . Further floods in the 1920s prompted works to enlarge the sewer . This was sufficient until a small part of the local area was flooded again during a powerful downpour on 20 July 2007
