Holme Valley Civic Society presents, The Holmfirth Flood 1852; when Bilberry Reservoir burst its banks!

Saturday 6th February 2027, 10.00am to 4.00pm - Free admission

Imagine a dreary, very wet January in 1852. Inches of rain pouring down on houses that had only coal fires to keep them warm. Imagine the large families huddled into too small houses, sharing beds with siblings, listening to the rain night after night.

In the early hours of Thursday 5th February 1852, something so terrifying, so enormous, that would change their lives forever, befell the people of Holmfirth. After days of worrying that it might happen Bilberry Dam burst its banking after days of worrying that this may happen.

Millions of gallons of water made its way through the villages and hamlets lining the river, taking homes, people, animals and anything else in its path away and sending it down towards Huddersfield and beyond. An entire reservoir emptying in the space of 20 minutes.

This was the Flood that devastated families, livelihoods, businesses and farmland.
Holmfirth would never be the same again.

See how it all unfolded.....
