Chesil floods
As always, should there be any problem with copyright I will happily remove this photo.
The photo was taken by Stuart Morris in 1979, probably in February of that year. It shows yet another flood in the vicinity of Brandy Row, Chesil, pronounced like 'chisel' the woodworking tool. Floods have been a fact of life here for centuries and continue to be a threat despite modern sea defences. Indeed there are flood warning sirens nearby.
This photo was seen in b-side's "Weather or Not" series. It has particular interest because as we were studying the photo, we got talking, as you do, to the chap next to us. He proudly told us that the car in the foreground belonged to his father and that when he came to rescue the vehicle, it started first time!!
