RETRO: How Mansfield kept calm and carried on during 1968 flood

We are taking a trip back to 1968 with this retro gallery, specifically to July of that year, when Mansfield town centre unexpectedly experienced severe flooding.

Despite the unprecedented conditions, people continued to visit pubs, go to work, and shop, even as the town was submerged under several inches of water.

This retro feature captures the essence of Mansfield in the 1960s...
