[Great Flood]
Image ID: WPC 02:139
Blank postcard. Black and white image on front shows two bridges in the aftermath of a high flood, likely the Great Flood of Northampton in 1936. Water in front of bridges is topped with large chunks of white ice and reaches the underside of the bridges. People can be faintly seen walking along the closer bridge. Two smoke stacks rise above the bridges in the background as well as a large brick building and the tops of bare trees.
Date is estimated based on date of Flood.
