	Exmoor National Park - The Lynmouth Floods of 1952, Exmoor
		Hundreds of thousands of years ago these rivers used to run to the sea much further to the west but during the Ice Age the side of their valley was eroded by the sea and, as a result, they fell to the sea along a much shorter and steeper course.
		The main street of Lynmouth was damaged in this way, as was the bridge at Glebe House, Malmsmead, where both its piers were based on the solid Devonian rock and could stand the weight of debris and water behind.
		The damage at Lynmouth itself was predominately to the newer constructions, built during the Victorian era when the area grew in popularity.
