EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Thames floods 1947" captures a remarkable aerial view of the Windsor area during a period of severe flooding. The image showcases the immense power and unpredictability of nature as the mighty River Thames overflows its banks, transforming roads into waterways and gardens into temporary islands. In this surreal scene, boats become the primary mode of transportation for residents navigating their way through what was once familiar terrain. The photograph is part of the Aerofilms Collection from Historic England, offering us a unique glimpse into an extraordinary moment in history. It serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of adversity, human resilience shines through as people adapt to their surroundings with creativity and resourcefulness. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back to 1947 when communities faced significant challenges brought about by these devastating floods. Yet amidst the chaos and destruction lies a sense of unity and determination to overcome obstacles together. This photograph not only documents an important event but also highlights our deep connection with rivers – they can be both life-giving sources and formidable forces capable of reshaping landscapes in an instant.
