The Stanford - Corringham 'canal' of September 1968
The Stanford - Corringham 'canal' of September 1968
Extremely heavy rainfall has flooded the A1014 (then single carriageway). On 15 and 16 September over 200 mm of rain fell in two days as measured at nearby Tilbury weather station. The road here is on fairly high ground (for the area), so the water is largely the result of the rate of rainfall overcoming the capacity of the road drains. The stationary Jaguar appears to have pegged out after getting through the deeper water in the distance.
