Freeze forgotten


At the base of the board, it stated that the sea and river were frozen in the years 1907 and 1962/63, but there was no mention of 1947.
I wondered if 1907 was a misprint, or why our local historians had failed to add 1947, as it was probably one of the worst winters on record. I was born in Pier Road in 1947 and although I was only a baby, I do know for a fact that the river was frozen over that year.
