Christmas Eve 2013 - Tonbridge Floods (again)

Flooding in Tonbridge should come as no surprise to long term Tonbridge residents, so after weeks of rain in December 2013, the threat of the Medway bursting its banks was imminent. As the sun went down on Christmas Eve, the flood waters rose, causing misery and wreaking havoc for hundreds of families at Christmas time. Listen to Anne Clement recall her memories from the floods of 1968 and 2013.
