Date:February 1946
Description:On the left is the old library building which occupied this site until 1999, when it moved to part of the Shire Hall on Market Square. The building is now used as an arts centre. A long period of rainy weather resulted in the River Sow rising to its highest level ever recorded, flooding the railway station and stopping all traffic. At the junction of Newport Road and Bridge Street the water was two feet deep. Cottage dwellers had to be rescued by boat and one house was washed away.
