The peaceful town of Holmfirth, now famous for its connection with
the BBC's comedy series 'Last of the Summer Wine', has had its
tranquility torn apart on two separate occasions. This book retells
the stories of two devastating floods which ripped apart the heart
of the town. The 1852 flood was caused, in part, by negligence of
the reservoir builders, and the 1944 flood was due partly to a
consequence of these lessons not being learnt. The Holmfirth Floods
provides a fascinating insight into everyday life in the town
before, during and after these disasterous events, accompanied
throughout by maps, sketches and photographs.
