Floods In Rising Bridge
My wife is originally from Rising Bridge and is compiling some notes on her time there. She has tried to register on Baxenden On-Line Scribbles which has some info about the area but cannot register.
We were wondering if any of the historians on here could help with the date of an event.
In the 1960's there was a flood in Rising Bridge when Parkinson's Confectionery shop and the house next door collapsed into the river. Luckily, it was holiday time and nobody was injured but we are trying to establish a date for this event and hoped that someone with connections with Rising Bridge could shed some light on it.
Thanks
