The village post office and shop closed on 27 September 2008.

A sign showing the height of the floodwater can be seen in Cherrybridge and there is a memorial garden on the site of 2 houses which fell into the river.

The river channel was enlarged to prevent future problems.

In the early part of the 1900s it was mostly surrounded by conifer plantations, these were felled and have now been replaced by deciduous woodland.
