The scene in Shrewsbury following heavy rainfall in 2020
A flood alert is in place for the River Severn amid high water levels.
The alert, which means flooding is possible, follows heavy rainfall, the Environment Agency (EA) says.
Sites at risk, the EA adds, include low-lying land and roads adjacent to the river in Shropshire, from Shrewsbury to Upper Arley, as well as Coalbrookdale, Ironbridge and Bridgnorth.
In total, two flood alerts are in place for the county.
River levels are expected to remain high for the next few days and the EA says it is monitoring the situation.
Alerts are also in place for the Severn Vyrnwy confluence at Shropshire's border with Wales, with a risk of flooding to low-lying land and roads adjacent to the river from the border at Llawnt to Shrawardine near Shrewsbury.
Earlier alerts in place for the River Wye in Herefordshire and the River Dove in Staffordshire have been removed.
