I AM currently studying for an MSc in Geophysical Hazards at UCL and for my dissertation topic am studying the 1955 flood event which affected Weymouth and surrounding areas.
As a local girl it was important for me to choose something which is regionally significant.
I am hoping the readers of the Dorset Echo will be able to help me in my quest for personal accounts and photographs of the flood waters.
Also, I have been unable to find any physical evidence of the flood in Weymouth, I should be very grateful for any such information.
Any photographs used will be acknowledged within the project and will be returned.
If you feel you can help please contact me at elizabeth.crock er@ymail.com or the address below.
