EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken by Henry W. Taunt in 1890, captures the scene of a flooded Lake Street in New Hinksey, Oxford, Oxfordshire. The once dry and bustling thoroughfare is now transformed into a watery expanse, with the brown waters reaching the doorsteps of the houses lining the street. The residents, undeterred by the natural disaster, are seen standing outside their homes, watching as two carts make their way down the road. The Crown Inn, a familiar landmark to the right, stands proudly but is also submerged in the floodwaters. The Victorian era, with its horse-drawn carts and quaint architecture, is on full display, providing a glimpse into the past. The image offers a poignant reminder of the power of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. Despite the challenges presented by the flood, the community comes together, demonstrating the enduring spirit of the people of New Hinksey during this historic event.
