Castleton is my favourite place , I used to walk round at least once a week with my kids, winter and summer ,I don’t think I ever saw it flooded like that in forty years. I live in Cornwall now but Derbyshire will always be my spiritual home. So pleased it wasn’t any worse and thank you so much for reminding me of the beauty of that lovely village.

Heartbreaking Stu. I'm glad it was over relatively quickly, but those affected will need drying out before they can return to normality. Whilst I'd love to see Kinder Downfall in full flood, I'm giving it a week or so as I don't want to be up to my ears in bog. Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad you were spared.

Good to see the floods have now gone. It's just the mess it leaves afterwards. Also scary to see the height the river water had got to in order to flood and how fast it was still flowing.

Yeah it was something else. People have rallied round helping each other which is good to see. We're due more rain today and tomorrow but not in a short space of time so should be OK

My small town in Cheshire has the fast River Dane that flows into the River Weaver,when in flood ,it backs up in the towns bull ring damaging shops pubs etc..our biggest flood in 1946 was terrible..my old Aunt said they had fish in the bath in the house from the River rise !..it does so much damage,nature can be a beast unleashed😢

It certainly can. We used to live in wildboarclough and that had a huge flash flood in the 80s. Hope you didn't suffer too badly this year

@BMack-p9s Жыл бұрын
It looks like there could be a higher, stronger flood defence wall put in to help, also given Castleton's location, that some arabale land could be used for an overspill? But guessing that would cost many millions so given the community size it wouldn't get the money? Cheaper and at v little cost to the gov and council atm, given the clean up mostly falls to each home owner or business.

No we are up in the hills, but it does seem to be a more frequent occurence these days, i think its a combination of change in weather and poor investment in infrastructure, although in this case I think its just the amount of rain in a short period
