Memories of a disaster

January 31, 2003, marked the 50th anniversary of The Great East Coast Flood.

Fifty years after gale force winds stormy seas brought havoc to our area we publish dramatic first hand accounts of the disaster – as well as photographs, many of them never seen before.

The Great Flood has been written and compiled by Janet Allinson, reporter at the Mablethorpe Leader, with the help and contributions of many readers. Our thanks to everyone who has donated photographs and articles.
