01 At Kilton Mill, 2nd July 2000

Torrential rain fell in the area on the morning of the 2nd July, 2000, half the month’s usual rain in just six hours. The cloudburst caused flash floods and the water swept down the valleys into Kilton Beck, carrying fallen trees and branches along with it. The photograph shows the old bridge, between the trees, just below Kilton Mill. The logs and debris jammed against the bridge and blocked the beck.

This sequence of images of the flooding in July 2000 was submitted by Kathleen Hicks; she took all the photographs and suppled the commentary.
