Floods of 1953
Suffolk Show 2013: Farming stalwarts are honoured at Long Service Awards
Hundreds of years of work on Suffolk farms was recognised in the 2013 long service awards.
It is 60 years since a sea surge battered the east coast of Britain, leaving 307 people dead.
The flooding that devastated coastal communities on December 31/February 1, 1953 is still described as Britain’s worst peacetime disaster and, for those who survived, the memories are just as vivid now as they were the morning after.
This week, those who were living along the East Anglian coast at the time
have been reliving that night of horror and sharing their memories of
how their communities coped in the aftermath.
