EDITORS COMMENTS
The Great Deluge in East Anglia: A Sea of Water in Prince of Wales Road, Norwich, August 1912 This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of one of the most devastating natural phenomena to hit East Anglia in the early 20th century. The image, taken in August 1912 by an unknown photographer for the Illustrated London News, depicts Prince of Wales Road in Norwich, submerged under the relentless onslaught of floodwaters. The region had been experiencing heavy rainfall for several days, leading to the rivers and waterways bursting their banks. The Wensum and Yare rivers, which flow through Norwich, reached record-breaking levels, submerging large parts of the city. The photograph reveals a scene of chaos and destruction, with horse-drawn carts and cars abandoned in the water, their occupants having been forced to flee their homes. The people in the photograph stand on the edges of the flooded road, watching in awe and disbelief as the water continues to rise around them. The floods caused widespread damage to properties and infrastructure, with many homes and businesses destroyed or severely damaged. The transportation network was also disrupted, leaving many communities isolated and cut off from the outside world. The disaster brought the region to a standstill, with the military called in to help with rescue efforts and the distribution of aid. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the power of nature and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the enduring impact of natural disasters on communities and the importance of coming together to help those in need.
