Usk used to flood

[edit] Unrelated name?

"As with some other towns in Wales (e.g. Abergavenny) it was assigned an unrelated Welsh name Brynbuga during the latter 20th century."

Disagree that Abergavenny's assigned name of Y Fenni is unrelated. I know it's a minor point, but still. Benbristol, 14.26, 1st March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flooding

I grew up in Usk, '75 to '87. During that time flood defences where created to stop the almost annual flooding of houses on the west side of the town. A lot more could be made of this as it was an important part of Usk's development as a town and explains the odd looking high ridges built between the Old Railway bridge and the road bridge, and further along down past the cricket ground and market gardens.
