It was about six years ago that I started to put this book
together. Initially, it was the pubs and inns in Crowland - there
were about 32 - so I started to find the landlords from about 1829
to 1913. I found a few pictures of them but not many as most of
them have now disappeared. Then I came across a picture of the
Abbey Hotel and went to see the landlord, who found a picture of
the floods in Crowland. This then set me off on a trail to find out
more about the 1947 floods in and around Crowland. I spent hours in
Peterborough library finding details about the floods. Then I found
some pictures of the floods on e-Bay and was talking to the person
who I purchased them from. He told me he had about 20-30 pictures
of Crowland during the floods. He said he would send them to me on
a disc. Some weeks later it arrived and to my amazement there were
over 80, not only of the flood but of people, parties, carnivals,
events and lots more. So then I started the long trail to put it
all together into a book. Finally, six years later it was finished;
I do hope that it will bring back memories of 1947 to many people
and hopefully that they can remember some of the places and people
in the book.
