Baildon/Shipley/Saltaire Floods - 26th & 27th December 2015
On the 25th December 2015 it started to rain and didn't stop for over 24 hrs.
Officially 63.0 mm of rain was recorded in Bingley.
This was on the back of countless bands of rain that had already
saturated the ground and as a result, this happened…
Saturday Morning
It's still raining and the river level at Saltaire has just reached 1.8m
Saturday Afternoon
The rain has stopped, but the river level at Saltaire is still rising,
breaking the previous record of 2.18m
Saturday Evening
The river level at Saltaire peaks at 2.84m
The rescue!
Whilst trying to turn his car around, an older gentleman is swept down Green Lane. He becomes wedged up against a Billboard on Otley Road.
Sunday Morning
The full extent of the damage becomes apparent!
