I mentioned before in a previous article that I had some more photos taken during the 1988 flooding. Here’s the best of the shots including a couple of ‘panoramic’ ones taken on the beach and a series of very dramatic ones taken from the air. I don’t know who to credit for these photos, if the photographer would like to be credited, please contact me.

If you are in any of the photos, what about leaving some comments about what you remember of that day?

Here’s the photos -

    Not being in the area when the floods occurred and had heard many speak about it I was very interested in seeing your photographs. Thank you for your time and effort gathering this information. My curiosity is satisfied.

    Thanks for the feedback and the kind words. Yes, I’d thought about shifting the weather up to the top as well. I might swap it with the ‘Did you know?’ area.
