This brought back many memories. I was a schoolgirl back then and remember it well. It followed a very hard winter that brought many FEET of snow rather than inches. I lived just off Tuffley Avenue which was off Bristol Road and that was all flooded. We did manage to go into town to see the flooding in Westgate Street and Archdeacon Street.
