Oral History - Personal Experiences of the Flood Disaster

 The Exmoor Oral History Archive is a fascinating collection of recordings mostly made between 2000 and 2002, and held on the Somerset County Council website. Among the recordings are a number that contain first hand experiences of the events that had such an impact on Lynmouth in 1952. Below are links to those people's recordings (MP3 format).

The Interviews were undertaken by Birdie Johnson on behalf of the Dulverton and District Civic Society.
