Here I will be revealing the history of the village from the last 100 years or so. As there was, of course, quite a lot happening in the 20th Century, I will be breaking the page into decades in time. please bear with me as I progress. If you have any pictures of information I could add, then I would love to hear from you!
This is the Great Flood on 29th April, 1910. The water has almost covered poor Jonah and the mill looks to be a little soggy!
Due to its proximity to the River Ouse, the village still floods regularly, the lush green fields in front of Turvey House and the mill becoming lakes. Many cottages around the Three Fyshes Inn and this end of the village have streams running through their gardens which also burst their banks once or twice a year. There are high water guages on the side of The Three Fyshes Inn showing the floods.
Here's Bridge Street under water in the 1930's. At times the river flooded so high that some folks were rescued from their homes by boats! Please note though, that nowadays the flooding is confined mainly to the fields either side of the river - most of Turvey is perfectly safe from flooding!
