Painting in oils on a wooden panel, this late 18th century image shows a trading por...t complete with sailing ships, one of which displays a Dutch flag. European merchants and their middle eastern counterparts discuss business while men load cargo in the form of barrels and packs. The panel originally came from a house in St Georges Street Norwich, and was an appropriate subject for aspirational Norwich merchants hoping to secure foreign markets for the lucrative ‘ Norwich Stuffs’ in the 18th century. The board is now set into the overmantel in the Georgian Dining Room at Strangers’ Hall in Norwich, a building that has been used for hundreds of years by Mayors and merchants of the city.

The 1953 North Sea flood was a major flood caused by a heavy storm that occurred on the night of Saturday, 31 January 1953 and morning of Sunday, 1 February 1953. The floods struck the Netherlands, Belgium, England and Scotland.
A combination of a high spring tide and a severe European windstorm over the North Sea caused a storm tide; the combination of wind, high tide, and low pressure led to a water level of more than 5.6 metres (18.4 ft) above mean sea level in some locations. The flood and waves overwhelmed sea defences and caused extensive flooding. Many hundreds of people lost their lives...
