Default Boscastle flooding ... some historical events

The Times reports this in its issue of June 4 1958 (rather than 1957).
It describes the water in the Valency rising 15 feet in 20 minutes,
after a cloudburst in the North Cornwall moors.

It is definitely 1958 - I have full online access to The Times back
issues and the event is reported on page 10 of the 4 June 1958 edition
