The impact of coastal floods on Canvey Island, BBC's Britain from Above



This piece is about the residents of Canvey Island in the Thames Estuary that were badly affected by coastal flooding in 19. A range of archive materials illustrate the scale of coastal floods and their impact on the surrounding area. There is an interview with a former resident who was directly affected by the events, describing how people responded. To finish there is a section on flood defenses and how they are having to be changed over time.
