To mark the 200th anniversary of The Westmorland Gazette in 2018, we are publishing a photograph from our archives on our website every day this year.
Today's photograph shows desolation at The Sands at Appleby in March 1968, with cars, public seats and ornamental barriers all bundled over by relentless floodwater
You can see all of the archive photographs uploaded so far by going to http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/gazette_200th_anniversary/
