Hello DistrictWEB,
May I say what a pleasure it has been to find
this fantastic web site.
As expat's originating
from Warmley but now living in PERTH, W Australia
both my wife and I found the trip down memory lane, LOCAL FLOODS July 1968 very interesting.
We could relate to that terrible day [and night],
We lived at No 113 Bath Rd, opposite Bryse Whites
timber yard, Along the back of all those propertys
that backed on to Cann Woods including ours, ran
a deep ditch, On the night of the storm that ditch
became a river and we along with many others became
victims of severe flooding, So devastating and so
quick did this storm strike, we had very little
chance to save possessions.
My wife was employed at the time to Danny's car sales in Bitton. His business was to suffer
terribly with cars washed away off the forcourt.
It was a very long time before the local community
was to get back to normal.
We have often spoken
about that terrible day but never did we think we
would be revisiting it on my PC out here in Australia.
Regards
John & June Coulson.
