Bitton Vicarage, Oct. 1851.
242. _Inundation at Deptford._--In Lysons' _Environs of London_, vol.
iv. p. 359., it is stated that in the year 1671 a great inundation
happened at and near Deptford, which did much mischief, so that the
inhabitants were obliged to retire in boats to the upper town, and that
an account of it was extant in a small pamphlet published at the time.
If any of your correspondents could inform me where a copy of this is to
be met with, or give me any further particulars concerning the
occurrence, I should feel very much obliged.
