High Waters and the Flood Aftermath at Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, UK - 23rd June, 2012 (1080 HD)

On Friday 22nd June, 2012, The Rivers Calder and Hebden broke their banks at Hebden Bridge, which according to The Guardian, gave the town the worst floods for 30 years. I visited the town the day after on Saturday 23rd June, and this footage features some of the flooding aftermath. The video begins where the swollen and chocolate brown River Calder runs past Hebden Bridge Railway Station, next a sodden Calder Holmes park has large and deep enough puddles for ducks to swim in. The Rochdale Canal is full and bursting through the lock seems. Nearby the meeting point of the Rivers Hebden and Calder reveal high and fast flowing waters. Large puddles are left by the canal and running ground water from sodden hillsides flows down the street towards what was a heavily flooded and now very muddy Market Street. Flood damaged shops are closed and traders have piled ruined carpets and merchandise outside of their shop doors. Mud is everywhere, and personnel with industrial jet hoses are cleaning the streets. The Trades Club has been flooded and the Fire Brigade are helping to pump out the water. The story along Bridge Gate is a similar one with ruined merchandise and sodden carpets piled outside of shop doors. A vacant shop unit still has a large puddle in the middle of the carpet. Sandbags are placed around shop doors but to little avail. The River Hebden is flowing fast and high but is no longer in flood. The Weir by the White Lion pub gushes brackish moorland peat stained water. By Nutclough Mill and Waterside fold the river runs high and fast also. Flooding like this occurs rarely, the media have descended upon Bridge to capture the flooding and the aftermath, ITN news vans and news crews are on the streets, and overhead a BBC News helicopter surveys the flooding and damage from the air.

London Tower London Wall Westminster Abbey

The Tower of London, was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078. As a whole, the Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under Kings Richard the Lionheart, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.
The Roman wall appears to have been built in the late 2nd or early 3rd century.This was around 80 years after the construction in 120 of the city's fort, whose north and west walls were thickened and doubled in height to form part of the new city wall. It continued to be developed until at least the end of the 4th century, making it among the last major building projects undertaken by the Romans before the Roman departure from Britain in 410. The gates from west to east were: Ludgate, Newgate, Cripplegate, Bishopsgate and Aldgate.

Westminster Abbey is the traditional place of coronation and burial site for English monarchs. Henry III rebuilt the Abbey in honour of the Royal Saint Edward the Confessor whose relics were placed in a shrine in the sanctuary. Henry III himself was interred nearby, as were many of the Plantagenet kings of England, their wives and other relatives. Until the death of George II in 1760, most Kings and Queens were buried in the Abbey, Since the Middle Ages, aristocrats were buried inside chapels.
