Severe storm in Newcastle causes ships sunk and ice floods
A week of fierce weather in Newcastle brings south wind, hail and snow. The storm sinks twelve wheellies, drives ships from moorings, and causes widespread damage along the river. Two wine casks wash ashore, timber and raf fragments land on the coast. The river freezes, and a man frozen to death in a brewhouse is reported, while local officials note a long-serving magistrate’s death and local developments near the Severn.
