River Calder overflows, flooding in Methley, Yorkshire
Nov. 28, 1960 - Severe Floods in Yorkshire: Pleasure boats from park lakes were rushed to Methley, Yorkshire, yesterday to save 35 people in their flooded homes, after the River Calder had burst its banks. There was seven feet of flood water in the main street of the town. Photo Shows: Flood waters of the River Calder sweep past the half submerged Junction Inn, in Watergate-lane, Methley, Yorks. The pub is completely cut off. Outside, in what was a village street, a lamp post pushes its top through the racing tide
