Hebden Bridge Floods

 

If you live in the U.K. you will have seen on the national news that last Friday after heavy rain we had major flooding in Hebden Bridge. Many of the shops and businesses have been very badly damaged and there is still a big clean up taking place along my street Market Street which lies very low in it's centre.Everyone has helped in some way as we are a small town full of good hearted people.
Some shops might re open this weekend but my shop being quite a way up from the centre was saved by my two steps from the pavemant to the front door.
Everything had to be removed from the shop just in case.! It really was like some special effect on a movie except that it was real.
I had visions of hats floating up the road but they were all safe thank goodness, it would have taken me a considerable time to re make my stock had that been a reality. Something that I have thought about several times in the past few days.
