- (continued from previous page)The Pottery factory being so close to the sea got a severe flooding. Some of the fishing boats were washed out to sea, some sank to the bottom and had to be taken up by divers and towed into harbour.
These floods are generally caused by the snow melting on the hills. The water runs down and over-flows the river which cannot flow out to sea as it should owing to the condition of the sand bar in winter being covered with sand.
My mother Mrs. Mary White told me this story.- Collector
