Historic 1930s Flood Photograph - Submerged Street with Brewery Signage #3773156 (License: Personal Use)

This striking monochrome image documents a major urban flood, likely from the 1930s, where water has risen to engulf streets and lower floors of brick buildings. A tall industrial structure bears a large painted advertisement reading “Dowling of Bath - Beer is Best,” while graffiti on a nearby wall marks the water level at “60.89” with the date “24/2/34.” Chain-linked bollards stand partially submerged, and a lone figure wades near a utility pole, underscoring the scale and disruption of the event.
