1989 Luddenden Flood - Part 1

In 1989, the village of Luddenden, near Halifax, experienced severe flooding after prolonged heavy rainfall caused the River Calder and nearby becks to overflow. The steep valley landscape surrounding the village meant that rainwater ran off quickly from the hillsides, rapidly increasing water levels. Homes, shops, and roads were inundated, leading to significant damage to property and disruption for residents. The 1989 flood highlighted the vulnerability of small valley communities to extreme weather and contributed to later improvements in local flood management and river monitoring systems.
