Reports on the Canvey Island and East Coast Floods 1953

The following documents were made available to the archive by Brian Porter (Heritage Lead, East London District, St John Ambulance).   They consist of  a compilation of reports originally written after  the east coast floods of 1953 and record the support given by members of St John Ambulance to those affected by the floods.
Benfleet is mentioned several times through the reports.
