Summary

The Great Storm of 1987 is etched firmly into the national memory. Everyone who was there that night remembers how hurricane-force winds struck Southern Britain without warning, claiming 18 lives, uprooting more than 15 million trees and reshaping the landscape for future generations.

Thirty years on, the discovery of an old photograph inspires the author to make a journey into that landscape: weaving her own memories and personal experiences with those of fishermen and lighthouse keepers, rough sleepers and refugees, she creates a unique portrait of this extraordinary event and a moving exploration of legacy and loss.

Poetic and nuanced reflection on the great storm of October’87

Beautifully written and performed by the author. It was a journey through the lives, the landscapes, and the zeitgeist of the age that leads to the great storm of October ‘87. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks Tamsin!
