Photo of a bustling Vennel 1960's

Looking at the original picture again, maybe twenty feet is a bit much, but when you consider that the shop was opposite fuscos(just above where the youngers beer sign is in the picture) if you invisage standing where the picture has been taken and say that the water was at the wheels of the car standing on its own, that suggests about maybe twelve feet of water from where the pic has been taken from. Still hard to believe.

Well George I have just this morning spoken to a former employee of Pearsons and the lady confirmed one
particulsrly huge flood many years did, in fact, come up as far as the Vennel / Irish Street crossroads. You can
of course ask any auld worthies you may know if they remember the flood mark originally referred to.

Still think this is too far fetched. Stand at the alleged site today and could you possibly picture that scenario. Draw a horizontal line from your feet across to the river..... no way would that be full of water. I would love to see any photographic evidence or indeed any written evidence of this high water mark.
