Yesterday's Witness S05 E04 The Great Blizzard of 1891

They remember more important things, like, 'It was seven weeks before we went back to school!' But the 'star' of the programme is Mrs Lilias Williams who remembers the Great Blizzard of 1891 very vividly, for she was already a young woman. On her last birthday she was 103!
