The Storm Bridlington 1871
« on: Tuesday 11 December 07 22:59 GMT (UK) »
I have a poem written by Sarah Ann Usher aged 15 years (an ancestor by marriage) about the Storm at Bridlington Quay February 10th 1871.  It appears to have come from some publication , the page is approx 10ins by 8 ins.  I know that there was a Sarah Usher age 12 in the 1871 census for Bridlington but I can find no reference to this poem in any newspaper or publication.  Maybe it was done for a competition.  Can anyone throw any light on this?

Hi Sudee

Though I've read about the great storm, I've never seen anything about it as a poem , but maybe the library can help.

Thank you for your reply Bee.  I have contacted the library at Bridlington and have spoken to a very helpful lady Sue but she has not been able to find out anything about this poem written by Sarah Ann Usher on the Great Storm.  I was hoping there might be someone out there who could throw some light on it
Best wishes
