Title:

1927 Flood Movie Screenshot: Bolton 16

Date:: 1927-11
Description:: This image is a screenshot from a movie made using actual footage from the 1927 flood: This image is from a clip of the 1927 Flood Movie that begins with the caption "The heaviest rainfall ever known in New England fell on November third and fourth, the flood carrying away trees, logs, and houses and these served as battering rams of destruction." This image is of a road in Bolton that is obstructed by a house or barn that has been carried into the road. There are three houses in the road in this picture. A broken white wooden fence is in the right foreground. A telephone pole remains standing behind the white house in the road. The road continues up a hill and to the right. It also appears that there is a house further up the road that wasn't damaged in the flood so this could be near the high-water mark. Note also that the road is very muddy.

The buildings on the left are the former Riliey's Market from a 1/4 mile south.
