It was previously closed for 18 months after heavy rainfall in 2019 preceded the COVID-19 pandemic. On 8 November, recorders across the city confirmed the Don\u2019s level at all-time highs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was around half past one in the morning when the Environment Agency told us the flood alert for the area was upgraded to red,\u201d she said. \u201cWithin 20 minutes, most of the lower pub was ankle-deep in water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the first lockdown, the pub was ready to re-open after carrying out dry runs with family and friends. Announcements of fresh lockdowns days later forced the pub to remain closed until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-south-yorkshire-56693466\">April 2021<\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of 2022, a flood wall was repaired opposite the pub at an estimated cost of \u00a38m. However, a problematic gap was left further along to allow riverside access to the Trans-Pennine Trail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miss Bell blames this for the damage caused by Storm Babet last year but said the parts of the wall that was refurbished worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/gap-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/gap-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/gap-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Refurbishment of a flood wall opposite the Vintage Inns-owned pub was not continued beyond the pub, with residents blaming this for the damage caused in 2023.

Liz Reeve, founder of Sprotbrough Village History Group, has witnessed four severe floodings in the hamlet in 1947, 2007, 2019 and 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When describing the July 2007 floods, Mrs Reeve said: \u201cWe were absolutely flabbergasted when as much water came in as it did.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents of Doncaster suburb, Bentley, used canoes to navigate the deluged streets, while a car close to a nearby fast-food outlet was almost fully submerged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs Reeve added: \u201cIn 2019, we had to climb out of the bedroom window to get out!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doncaster made national headlines that year because of the level of rainfall which preceded the floods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fishlake, to the city\u2019s north-east, suffered the most after 170 homes and business in the village were impacted. The damage was so catastrophic, it warranted visits from then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson \u2013 days after a General Election was called \u2013 and the future King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Resident, Pam Webb, showed Mr Johnson around the submerged village and said 70 per cent of properties in the village had been impacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Prime Minister made a statement to me behind closed doors, and later on camera, that no victim of flooding would suffer financial loss,\u201d she recalled in the book <em>Flood<\/em>, which documents stories of those affected in Fishlake. \u201cFrom that point on, the dialogue could at least be opened to explore what could be offered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the devastation, \u00a33m was channelled in relief efforts \u2013 and repairs were completed as the country re-emerged from lockdown in June 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe lockdown of early 2021 caused problems,\u201d recalled Paul and Angela Causer in <em>Flood<\/em>. \u201cWe aimed to move back home in May, but not before paying thousands in storage and accommodation costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Three significant floods in Doncaster in 17 years has raised questions on climate change\u2019s impact on the hamlet. Miss Bell is adamant Storm Babet will not be the last time the pub will be affected by flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said: \u201cIt\u2019s ultimately going to happen more regularly, and I think climate change will be a contributing factor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"677\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/sprotbrough-lock-comparison-677x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50838\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A view of Sprotbrough Lock, following the 2007 floods, compared to the present day.

A target named as the \u2018Sprotbrough Ings project\u2019 was listed to \u201ccreate and restore habitats and raise flood awareness\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan committed to completing the project, led by the Don Catchment Rivers Trust charity, by 2025. The group say the project is in its final stages of development and is part of the wider &#8216;All Hands on the Don&#8217; project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was little knowledge of the project within the village and disgruntlement upon learning about it, but the charity claims this is due to being in the process of securing permissions and not wanting to raise expectations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite this, one source, who wished to remain anonymous, said: \u201cThey should really stop employing dinosaurs who think the money comes out of their pocket and start getting people to take action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs Reeve agreed, stating: \u201cWhat\u2019s the Council doing? If you want anything from them and you put your address in, they don\u2019t know where it is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mrs Reeve and her husband, Michael, are currently renting a village cottage while repairs continue in Lower Sprotborough. They say despite the council\u2019s apathy, they have to pay two lots of council tax, one for each property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/liz-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-50807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/liz-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/sheffieldwire.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/liz-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Liz Reeve in her temporary Sprotbrough home.
