Date:1st of February 1948
Description:Looking from Green Bridge upstream along the River Sow to the Town Mill. The buildings on the right belong to Mill Bank.
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.
