The High Tide - Overflow of the Thames on Tuesday - Vine-Street, York-Road, Lambeth, 1850. Creator: Unknown
The High Tide - Overflow of the Thames on Tuesday - Vine-Street, York-Road, Lambeth, [London], 1850....the tide rose so extraordinarily high, as to overflow the banks of the river and inundate the various thoroughfares along either shore. So unexpected was the high tide, that no one had made any preparation to preserve their property, and the consequence was that mischief to an incalculable amount was done....The various wharves along the river presented immense sheets of water, timber and other articles being forced about with the strength of the tide; whilst the small craft lying on the shores of the Thames were either filled with water or forced into the open streets. In Lambeth, and the two adjoining parishes, property worth many thousand pounds was destroyed'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
