Cobholm Island

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cobholm Island is situated in the East Anglian county of Norfolk, England, close to Great Yarmouth.

It was the victim of a flood in the Great Yarmouth area on January 31, 1953 which resulted in the deaths of 307 people, the majority of these being in the Cobholm area.

According to a school inspection report it is “one of the most economically and socially deprived areas in England” [1].
