The Birches Deluge of May 27 1773 Described

An eyewitness account details the Severn river upheaval near Buildwas and the Birches on May 27 1773. Described are shattered bridges, moved hedges, uprooted oaks, tossed fields, and a landscape transformed into a sea like chaos. The author compares the scene to Vesuvius lava and notes people fleeing to safety as the ground opened and closed.
