It is only about a year since the bridge over Tinker Brook (on the other side of the woods behind me) had to be rebuilt. That flood website shows that the new housing built on the old site of Three Brooks Mill is in a flood risk area.

Re: Is Accrington likely to flood?
 

We are probably least at risk up here, ( well 2 foot less of a risk than Tinks :D ). It's about a million feet above sea level :)

wouldnt matter where tinks was- natures not that "Dumb":D

Re: Is Accrington likely to flood?
 

Hope we dont get floods.

Cause me more work.

Some insurers class Henry Street area as high risk.

Re: Is Accrington likely to flood?
 

Willow,how on earth did you get flooded on Sultan Street ? It's on a decent slope ( well it better be!) Also the River Hyndburn goes under the ex Music Zone store before it hits Wilco's,remember looking at it thru an inspection pit thing when they resurfaced Broadway t'other year . It was a fairly long way down before you hit water, mind you it was in July !
