Grinton Bridge is (was) on the course for the main event, the Elite Men's Road Race. Interesting to see what develops - it took over a year to replace Tadcaster Bridge which had collapsed in 2015.

Perhaps use the army to put up a temporary one- maybe one of them bridge laying tank things! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 1, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted August 1, 2019 Whalley bridge evacuated as fears of a dam collapse! Part of a wall has already gone and a severe flood warning (threat to life) issued. Bad shit this, like a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they can drain it through the sluices and then get the repair work done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted August 2, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted August 2, 2019 Pumped out enough to drop the level 8 inches so far. When something like this happens, I do wonder if it can be repaired, or whether they'd have to start again. Seems to be a big gap in the grassed area too. Didn't see that yesterday, but it might have been the camera angle. Interestingly, it's owned by the canal and rivers trust, not the water authority. Wonder how readily they could afford to have it all rectified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 We’ve had the army in Marple this weekend. Apparently if it gets worse again we could be in bother. The road that leads to mine was a couple of feet under water on Thursday afternoon but it drained quickly. Feels very bizarre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
