Well …. Thank you for all that hard work too! I well remember the black “tank” engine and coaches towards the end of the video - they seem to be crossing the old level crossing to the Old Town. I haven’t come across any mention on the effects of the disastrous 1953 floods on the Old Town. I seem to remember seeing markings on the front wall of a building on the north side of the High Street portraying the height to which the water rose. Are there any photos of that era somewhere?

Thanks William! I am going to do a video about the 1953 floods, there is a mark showing the height of the tide on the side off a building on the Strand. I have quite a lot of great photos from that era.
