A little piece of history...

...Bilberry dam from Digley dam...
So many lost in the flood...

Courtesy of Wiki:
The 1852 flood occurred when the embankment of the Bilberry reservoir collapsed, releasing 86 million gallons of water down the River Holme. It caused 81 deaths and a large amount of damage to property in the valley leaving many homeless and without work. The buildings and structures destroyed included four mills, ten dye houses, three drying stoves, 27 cottages, seven tradesmen’s houses, seven shops, seven bridges crossing the River Holme, ten warehouses, eight barns and stables. 

The extra collage shows the memorial pole in the centre of Holmfirth which indicates the level the flood reached; the plaque on the pole; and the plaque on the bridge which also commemorates the deaths in the flash flood of 1944.
