[Great Flood]
Image ID: WPC 02:136
Blank postcard. Black and white image on front shows a residential area during a high flood, likely the Great Flood of Northampton in 1936. Photo is very underexposed and dark, but homes can be seen in the distance partially or totally flooded. What appears to be the top half of a water tank can be seen in the foreground. The tops of trees rise out of the water around the homes.
Date of postcard estimated based on date of Flood.
