Framed Print of The Great Storm of Wind on Friday week: a tree uprooted near the bridge, Eton, 1881. Creator: Unknown
The Great Storm of Wind on Friday week: a tree uprooted near the bridge, Eton, 1881. A storm of Wind, seldom equalled in violence and long continuance, passed over the British Islands on Friday week, beginning on the Thursday night, with a heavy fall of rain...The south of England, and especially the country a hundred miles round London, with the metropolitan district itself, seem to have felt its extreme violence; and a vast amount of damage has been done to buildings and plantations, while many persons, in different parts of the country, and a few in London, lost their lives from various injuries...We present Sketches of a few incidents of the havoc it caused in and near London and up the valley of the Thames. The direction of the wind here was from the north-west, at least during the greater part of the day; while on the south coast, at the Isle of Wight, it blew from the south-west, and at Oxford more directly from the West, but gradually shifting to north-west...In the Eton playing-fields several noble elms were uprooted, and others were broken asunder. An Eton correspondent furnishes the sketches of two of these regretted victims of the storm, now lying prostrate, one in the island, the other near the bridge'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
