'Turnback Tuesday' asks help identifying Flood of '55 location


Turnback Tuesday is looking for some help. 

This is an image of the Flood of August, 1955. The devastating flood left the Valley towns and the people who lived and worked here without homes and businesses plus a huge mess to be cleaned up in the aftermath. 

Derby Public Library needs your help in identifying the *location* of this image. 

We believe it is Route 8 looking north towards Pershing Drive, but would appreciate confirmation on this. On the left would be the area where Home Depot is now. Please let us know your thoughts and ideas. 

This photo is a recent donation from the J. Vagnini family.
