'Turnback Tuesday' highlights second flood of 1955

 

Turnback Tuesday takes another look at the second flood of 1955. This took place in October with rain falling from the 14th - 17th. It brought about from 12” to 14” of rain.

The two images are of the Derby Bridge over the Naugatuck River looking at St. Michael's Church located at the intersection of Derby Avenue and Rt. 34.

The water rose in October, and as you can see, almost as much as it did in August. This meant those who were digging out from the first flood had to do so again in October.

Image one was taken on 8-19-1955 at 2 p.m. and image 2 was taken on 10-16-1955. These two images are on display along with many others at Derby Public library until the end of September.

Thanks goes to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week.
