| from: The history and topography of the parish of Kirkburton and of the ... by Henry James Moorhouse Floods in the Holme Valley page 229 By far the most calamitous flood which this district ever sustained, was occasioned by the bursting of the Bilberry Reservoir, at the head of the Holme valley, early on the morning of the 5th February, 1852. // page 235 The Holmfirth Mill, then occupied by Messrs. Nathan Thewlis and Co., and employed in the woollen manufacture, was assailed by this mighty torrent, which rushed through the two low stories, smashing the machinery, and inflicting a great amount of damage. Adjoining the mill were two cottages - one occupied by Richard Shackleton, weaver, his wife and three children ; the other by Sidney Hartley (engineer to Messrs. Nathan Thewlis and Co.), his wife, eight children, and an apprentice boy (John Dearnley). Both these cottages, together with the families, were swept away, except three little girls, the children of Sidney Hartley, and the apprentice boy, who, being suddenly floated up to a part of the roof which yet remained, caught hold of the rafters and clung to them. When the flood began to abate, John Dearnley got upon the roof, and assisted the little girls to do the same, and ultimately enabled them to gain a place of greater safety. // more Holmfirth Flood info |
