On this Day in History.

[Stanley Edwards]

This should have been done years ago.

A link to Wiki with a notable event mentioned here.

• 1607 – An estimated 200 square miles (51,800 ha) along the coasts of the Bristol Channel and Severn Estuary in England are destroyed by massive flooding, resulting in an estimated 2,000 deaths.[3]

It is all interesting until you reach the mud of birth dates.

It's been done loads of times

I hope your thread is more successful than previous efforts

And, this event in 1607, in the Bristol Channel is connected to 'world politics, current affairs and news', how?

Not only has this been done before, but this was posted on one of the previous threads a few hours ago

370 years ago today that Charles I head came off. Glad he wore two shirts, it’s a bit chilly this time of year.

Never mind though Stanley Edwards, it's not your fault if all the good ideas have been done already...

On this day in history Stanley Edwards started one more, enthusiastic and anticipative thread.

It was the 75th anniversary of the relief of Leningrad the other day.

Depends on what context you're putting the current in.

Ah well.

Perhaps we should have all the same titled threads merged into some form of online encyclopaedia?

An anniversary worth remembering, but a post I cannot put a like on.

What is the point of such a thread when Wikipedia has a comprehensive daily list of events?

You can see tide marks on the sides of some old churches along the South Wales coast where the tidal wave hit. It's true!

On this day I was born. Thanks for the thread.

Also, Churchill's funeral (when I was 1). It's a weird one.

Planning for the funeral, known as Operation Hope Not, began 12 years before Churchill's death.

Why Spain Does not Remember

There were four hours of documentary about it last night. Unfortunately it didn't start till 22:30 or I'd have watched it. It was from both sides and original film in colour.

I'm hoping it will be repeated at a better time.

Really unbiased article. Nothing, of course as it is written from a leftist perspective, about the atrocities carried out by the Communists during the Spanish Civil War.
