cpm - flooding in 1960s


Residents in Chippenham say the flooding there from Storm Bert is some of the worst they've seen since the 1960s.
This old B&W image [which is not mine] almost certainly dates from the same storm that flooded the River Chew valley on the 10th July 1968.
I was at School in Keynsham - where the Chew flowed into the [Bristol] Avon - and remember amongst all the destruction, that a car was washed up in the "park" under the bypass bridge, and that 3 of the 4 original occupants had drowned. The sole survivor was found in a tree. The whole series of events affected me and recently seeing a documentary about it reminded me of the devastation.
