Compiled with the help of the Western Morning News, this account gathers reports of the night of 9 March 1891 and the days after: trains stranded in drifts, ships wrecked off the Cornish coast, villages cut off, parks and forests flattened, and a water famine in Plymouth once the storm passed.

A vivid local chronicle of one of the worst storms in West Country history. Download the free EPUB.
