1683 Trent flood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Trent valley in Nottinghamshire, England, suffered from a major flood in 1683. The floods followed a lengthy cold period and were formed from melting snow and broken river ice. The ice floes swept away much of Hethbeth or Trent Bridge at Nottingham and the Town Bridge at Newark-on-Trent.
