On this day in history - in BIDEFORD
In Bideford on 23 November 1984, when a
combination of high spring tide, strong
southerly wind and flood flow in the River
Torridge caused flooding on both sides of
the river. 70 properties were flooded from
the water that overtopped the quay.

Report1978: Nightclub ordered to lift race ban
A Birmingham nightclub has been ordered to open its doors to black and Chinese people.
It is the first non-discrimination notice issued by the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) since the non-governmental body was formed to tackle racial discrimination by the 1976 Race Relations Act.
The owners, Genture Restaurants, now have to provide evidence they are complying with the order over the next two years, or face prosecution.
