This shows the last serious flooding in Chandlers Ford. The brook frequently brook its banks, particularly at the junction of Park Road and Hursley Road. In more recent years, flood prevention measures have alleviated the problem.
Featured is the shop of Captain Charles L V MacMahon, newsagent, stationer and tobacconist, of 15 Hursley Road. He had moved in here between 1931 and 1935 (according to Kelly's directories).
