On this very sad day many people died, some of them children, and there was massive devastation to homes and buildings in our town. 23 people died… 50 houses were destroyed… 800 people were left homeless. Find out more about the Great Flood of Louth on our website including nearly 100 photos kindly shared with us by Louth Museum.
