HERE'S another jaw-dropping photo of the record flooding in Weymouth from 1955.

Thanks to Maureen Marchant for this photo of a double-decker bus trying to battle its way through the floods.

We've recently been hearing memories from readers about the record floods in Martinstown which also badly affected the Upwey area.

Thanks to Frank Bowering for contacting us to let us know of his memories.

He said: "I was a schoolboy at Hardye's, in the same year as Derek Pride, at the time of the flood, and lived in Broadwey.

"On that day I got off the train at Upwey and ran the half mile or so home, getting soaked in the process.

"Dad told me off for not sheltering – “it’s only off thunder” he said: I never let him forget that remark, and it became a family joke.

"When the rain had eased off, our neighbours told us that the main road was flooded at The Swan pub, and we went to have a look.

"It was when I saw that our milk bottles, put out for the next day’s collection, contained about three inches of water, despite having a narrow neck, that I realised the extent of the rainfall.

"Watery Lane, where the river was normally a small stream, had turned into a torrent many yards wide, with debris floating by at some speed."
