This is the hight of the water level of the river Calder in the massive calder valley flood on 26th December 2015 at this point the water was across the bridge and was 5.3metres or 17.4 feet above its normal level
@photographycrazy Thank you Bill for yor comment, millions of pounds have been spent on the Calder Valley flood defences since to stop this happening again:)
@365projectorgheatherb Thank you Heather for your comment, some of the buildings in the Calder Valley have marked up the high water level reached on their building for each flood over the years:)
@ludwigsdiana Thank you Diana for both your comment and Fav its much appreciated, Yes indeed it was over 2,000 homes and many businesses were flooded out, many bridges damaged or washed away, I moved to live into the Calder Valley area only two months before, fortunately my place is up on a hill:)
