EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the devastating Colegate Street Flood in Norwich, Norfolk, in the early 1900s. Taken during the Victorian and Edwardian eras, this image offers a poignant glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and determination of the community in the face of natural disaster. The photograph depicts the aftermath of the floodwaters that ravaged Colegate Street, a historic area of Norwich, leaving behind a scene of destruction and despair. Debris and wreckage litter the streets, with damaged buildings and uprooted trees standing as testament to the power of the water. Mud-splattered houses and soaked streets create a somber backdrop, while the few people present in the scene appear to be assessing the damage and beginning the arduous task of cleaning up and rebuilding. Despite the destruction, there is a sense of hope and community spirit in the photograph. People are working together to clear the streets and begin the recovery process. Horses and carts are being used to transport debris, while others are seen carrying belongings and supplies. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of coming together during times of hardship and adversity. The Colegate Street Flood was a significant event in Norwich's history, and this photograph offers a unique and poignant perspective on the aftermath of the disaster. The photograph is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, and it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Norwich and Norfolk during the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
