: Boys having fun during Medway floods, Kent


Boys having fun during Medway floods, Kent

A group of boys having fun on their way home from school after the River Medway overflowed its banks. All along the Upper Medway Valleys from Maidstone to Tunbridge, and up to its source at Forest Row, on the Sussex side of Tunbridge Wells, hundreds of acres of agricultural land was under water. The town of Tonbridge was flooded, and the High Street was like a miniature canal. In several of the cottages the water rose to the upper storeys, and a third of the town was flooded
