Norwich was literally swamped by floods last week, the water being thirteen feet deep in some parts of the town and the streets being converted into angry torrents. For twenty-four hours the town was completely isolated – no fewer than forty bridges and culverts having been swept away – and fifteen thousand persons were driven from their homes or sustained damage to their property. The police organised a special service of boats and carts for rescue work.
