durham floods 1986


This was a surprise. I was driving back in 1986 and stopped overnight at Durham. It was (and still is) a surprisingly scenic city with a dramatically located cathedral on the bend of the river. However on this day (26.8.1986) the river was suffering from excess water and was flooding all along the banks. A few drivers hadn't managed to move their cars in time!
