EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Westwick Street in Flood: A Historical Snapshot of Norwich, Norfolk, England, 1912" Westwick Street in Flood, Norwich, Norfolk, England, 1912, is an evocative snapshot of a bygone era, captured in this intriguing photograph from the Mary Evans Prints Online archive. This image, taken near West Pottergate, offers a unique glimpse into the history of this beautiful and historic city. The photograph, dated 1912, shows Westwick Street in the midst of a flood, with the water reaching the doorsteps of the houses and businesses lining the street. The scene is serene and tranquil, with the reflection of the grey, overcast sky on the water's surface creating a mirror-like effect. The horses and carts, which were the primary mode of transportation during that time, can be seen wading through the water, adding to the charm and authenticity of the image. The Wincarnis Works, a prominent feature of the photograph, can be seen in the background. Although not the focus of the image, they add to the historical context, providing insight into the industrial landscape of Norwich during the early 20th century. The Wincarnis Works were likely a significant employer in the area, contributing to the local economy and shaping the community in various ways. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Norwich, who continued their daily lives despite the challenges posed by the flood. It also serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the importance of preserving its past for future generations. The photograph's intriguing composition, coupled with the historical context, makes it an invaluable addition to any collection of Norfolk history or the history of Norwich. This image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the people and stories that shaped this beautiful and historic city.
