Flood Memorial

On 16 August 1952 a huge wave of water swept through Lynmouth following torrential rain. The devastation was immense: 34 people lost their lives, and four bridges and countless houses were washed away. This exhibition features photos of the aftermath and personal testimonies of those involved.

There's also a detailed model of the village before the flood, plus striking Pathé News film of the destruction caused.
