EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative aerial photograph, taken by Aerofilms Ltd in February 1953, captures the aftermath of the devastating floods that hit the coastal town of Felixstowe, Suffolk. The image reveals a scene of widespread flooding, with the North Sea encroaching upon the town's streets and buildings. At the heart of the photograph, Langer Road is submerged under several feet of water, its surface reflecting the grey, stormy sky above. The road, once bustling with traffic, now lies deserted and abandoned. The nearby gasometer, a prominent feature of Felixstowe's industrial landscape, stands tall and isolated, its silver tanks mirrored in the floodwaters. The maritime environment surrounding Felixstowe is also evident in the photograph. The harbor, with its container ships and cranes, is visible in the bottom left corner, while the North Sea stretches out to the horizon, its waves crashing against the shoreline. The town's defenses, including sea walls and groynes, are evident in the image, but they were unable to prevent the destructive power of the sea from inundating the town. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the destructive force of nature and the resilience of the people of Felixstowe in the face of adversity. It is a snapshot of a moment in time, a testament to the past, and a reminder of the importance of preserving our heritage for future generations.
