More about this scene

On 9 and 10 March 1891 the legendary Great Blizzard hit Devon and Cornwall. Two days of snow accompanied by a hurricane resulted in nearby Salcombe being cut off for five days, while here at Chillington the snowdrifts were 12 feet deep; it took fifty men to clear the road to Kingsbridge.
