Summary
Pathe synopsis: On a fateful day in 1952, recaptured here by dramatic newsreel shots, floods wrecked the lovely North Devon town of Lynmouth. The damage was severe, but so conscientiously have the repairs been carried out and flood defences strengthened, that today Lynmouth still manages to retain its original beauty and old-world charm.
