The great millennium floods in Kent and Sussex - Kathy Leeds

Water, water everywhere... it poured from the sky, washed over fields and roads into villages and towns, and put Kent-Sussex border country into the national spotlight - more of a bog garden than the Garden of England in the great millennium floods.;This is the story of dramatic rescues, lucky escapes, devastation for households and businesses and - amid the chaos - a strong community spirit, as people helped each other through. Kathy Leeds, feature writer for the Courier Newspapers, compiled "The Great Millennium Floods in Kent and Sussex" using reports and pictures from the Courier as the basis.;This book contains many hitherto unpublished pictures and stories together with some of the more dramatic photographs of devastation, and beauty, from the papers. Kathy talked to both flood victims and rescue services, and looked at the history of this part of Southern England. "The Great Millennium Floods in Kent and Sussex" is a record of four extraordinary weeks of weather and their consequences.
