Caught in the Deluge - Motorists Struggle on Flooded Kirkleatham Roundabout
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from March 9th, 1979, takes us back to a tumultuous moment in Kirkleatham's history. Heavy overnight rain had transformed the tranquil roundabout near the ICI entrance into a treacherous waterway, causing chaos for unsuspecting motorists. As England grappled with nature's fury, this snapshot captures the resilience and determination of those caught in the midst of it all. The image showcases an array of iconic 1970s cars battling against mother nature's wrath. Leyland Marinas and Ford Transits valiantly navigate through knee-deep waters while Vauxhall Vivas and Talbots struggle to keep their wheels above water. The scene is a testament to both British engineering prowess and human perseverance. Located in North East England, Redcar and Cleveland were no strangers to inclement weather; however, this particular deluge pushed even their limits. The photograph serves as a reminder of Teesside's unpredictable climate and its impact on daily life. As we reflect upon this historic moment frozen in time, we are reminded that adversity can strike at any given moment. Yet amidst these challenges lie opportunities for growth and unity. This print encapsulates not only a remarkable display of vintage automobiles but also serves as a timeless symbol of resilience within our United Kingdom community.
