    Hi..

    i still have the mark on my walls depicting the hight of the flood (over 5feet).. we papered over it of course, but its a reminder none the less.

    Hi Mrs_2009, I think it was Withywood, they had a lot of water running down off Dundry

    Hi Coddger, where in Bedminster was this photo taken? Does anyone remember these floods, or hearing about it from older members of the family?
