Légende

Going to church: an incident during the Floods, 1895. 'Once more King Winter is reigning in Great Britain...Prior to this last change in the temperature, inhabitants in low-lying neighbourhoods were experiencing the inconvenience of floods. In some cases even, "Going to Church" by water was a necessity, rare to Englishmen, but common to Norwegians...The weather on Jan. 29 was the coldest experienced in many parts of the United Kingdom during this winter...Twenty degrees of frost were registered in many parts of the country'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
