Presentation from several contributors with photos and stories about the The East Coast Flood Disaster of 1953 and later flooding events.
Flooding Events 1953 to PresentDuring the night of Saturday 31st January 1953, a heavy storm surge in the North Sea caused the worst flooding event in Britain of the 20th Century.
It was soon after dusk when the first waves crashed through the sea defences in Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea, and within an hour virtually the whole town including the High Street lay underwater. It caused devastation in the area and inundated 250 square miles of land along the East Coast.
This presentation will include contributions from several people with photos and stories.
It will cover information and memories of the 1953 flood and other local flooding events, up to present day.
