Severe Winters Remembered in England Over Two Centuries
A historical survey recounts brutal English winters from 1688 to 1844, noting Thames freezing, bread and coal scarcities, and coastal towns thriving with makeshift stalls. It cites notable cold snaps including 1703 1719 1754 1784 and 1814, plus a 1812 campaign retreat and a Dartmoor snowstorm with many fatalities. Also mentions a Cambridge resident buried in snow for eight days and a later digested tale of a panther carcass transformed into a ceremonial robe.
