Peel Park flood
The photo shows a flooded Peel Park, the flood water at a depth of more than four feet.
The photo was taken in 1946. The worst recorded flooding happened 80 years earlier, in 1866, when the flood water reached heights of more than eight feet. This event is marked by the flood obelisk that is found in the Park.
