Langley Mill Floods
replied on: 5/29/2007 3:47:05 PM

I remember one day in Winter 1953/4 when I delivered papers for Wiliamsons my round was Cromford road, and Woodlinkin finishing opposite Ormonde Golf Course. I picked my papers up round about 4,o,clock and the River Erewash was full to the brim, I finished my round and in those days we had to take our paper bags back to the shop, I got to the bottom of Dean street and no further, in the space of about 45 minutes the River had come over and Langley Mill bottom was flooded.
We used to go to Sunday School with two girls, Pauline and Janice from Cromford road on the same side as Roberts and I can remember the floods in their back gardens,and half way up Frank Sissons builders yard.
