THIS 1952 newspaper cutting shows Southport under two feet of water following similar floods in August.
The Daily Mail caption from Saturday, August 9 read: "Lord Street, Southport, yesterday afternoon flooded in parts to a depth of two feet.
"Nearly one inch of rain fell in half an hour."
Similar amounts hit the resort in August this year causing a number of homes to be damaged.
Caught up in the traffic in the photo is a steam ploughing engine, the likes of which can be seen at the Banks Agricultural Show this Saturday and Sunday.
