A view of Bilberry Reservoir. In 5 February 1852, Bilberry Reservoir burst its embankment and an estimated 86 million gallons of water poured down the Holme valley along the route of the River Holme, causing considerable destruction to buildings and bridges, as well as claiming the lives of around 80 people. There are markers in Holmfirth town centre showing the height of the flood waters which was considerable.
