Good weather and dropping river levels have shown up a surprising sight in Newtown – a discarded moped below the previous water line.

Powys County Times Camera Club member Sharon Owen found the vehicle when out walking along the river, and photographed her surprising find.

The motorised scooter had clearly been lying in the river for some time, and given the flooding and high river levels seen earlier in the year it had seen some tough conditions.

And the bike, which was towards the end of Dolerw, on the Milford Road side of the river, had seemingly been put there deliberately, Sharon said.

More positively, Sharon also captured a beautiful picture of the Severn as it weaves its way through the town.
