For the benefit of those who don't know 1953 refers to this :

On 1 February 1953, the North Sea Flood hit the island during the night and caused the deaths of 58 people. Many of the victims were in the holiday bungalows of the eastern Newlands estate and perished as the water reached ceiling level. The small village area of the island is approximately two feet above sea level and consequently escaped the effects of the flood. This included the local Red Cow pub which was later renamed the King Canute in reference to the legend of the 11th century Danish king of England commanding the tide to halt with the sea lapping at his feet.

After the flood of 1953, a new seawall was built, which was then replaced with a significantly larger construction in the 1980s

Current high tides ARE spring tides which which magnify the effect of the North Sea acting like funnel in conjunction with low pressure area off the coast of north Scotland.

East Anglia might be boring but it don't deserve this shit.
