Homes were flooded in North Ferriby last night after what is believed to have been a blockage in the drainage system.

In total six properties were affected in Church Road.

Humberside Fire and Rescue attended the scene by which time the blockage had cleared and the water had dispersed.

Crews also attended a shop which had flooded in Market Weighton. On their arrival the floodwater had drained away.

Weather experts said around 20mm of rain fell during just one hour last night.
