FLOODING IN LONDON
WATER MAIN BURSTS
St)ROE FN STREETS
(British Official Wireless.)
Reed. 9.30 a.m. RUGBY, June 17. Remarkable scenes followed the bursting of a water main in the centre of London to-day. Neighbouring streets were soon several feet deep with a swirling tide, which swept into shops and Hooded cellars and brought traffic to a standstill. The tramway tunnel from Kingsway to the Thames Embankment was flooded, and a dislocation of the tramway service resulted over a considerable area.
