The Great Flood of London
The Great Flood of London
Exploring one of the most devastating but little-known disasters in London's history, when the River Thames violently burst its banks in January 1928 and unleashed a torrent of destruction after melting snowdrifts and unrelenting rainstorms set the stage for chaos. The programme delves into the human stories that emerged from this tragic event, with the Harding family's heart-wrenching loss of four daughters in a single Westminster room serving as a poignant example of the devastating impact on individual lives
The Great Flood of London airs on Channel 5 HD at 9:00 PM, Sunday 15 September. (Subtitles, repeat.)
