Lostrider Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Any one any idea when this photo was taken. My dad took it during flooding of Beighton meadows. I think 40's. Anyone have an exact date. It must have made the Papers. Beighton Flood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
