1906 Flood Damage at James North Works


This is Old Hyde's 50th post.

There is a "water" theme amongst CDPB bloggers today. So where's the water here? Well it is April 1st, so maybe I'm fooling you! But if you are reading this after 12 noon then the joke will be on me.

Here the water has been and gone. In May 1906 Hyde suffered severe flash floods. This picture shows the damage caused at the James North Works.

    Your photo does a good job of showing the power of water ... I'll check back after 12 noon to see if the joke is on you!

    Some of the US blogs are showing the recent flooding in the midwest/south, and the UK sure had their share last summer. Very topical!

    Brilliant of you in depicting water in another manner! I can imagine the woes that water bring, lately being the plights of Hurricane Katrina's victims.

    You don't have to still see the water to understand the destructive force at play here.

    Oh not so friendly side of water...definitely one of the two unique posts I saw today, one being high costs for water bill!

    Happy theme day Gerald!

    Wow! The people posing in the rubble really show the size of the damage. Love the people gathered in the background.

    I like your sense of humour.Off at a tangent, but still a watery connection.
