Idlers Corner: A Tale of the Great Middleton Flood of 1927

July 1927. After months of rain, the canal embankment a mile above Middleton collapses sending millions of gallons of filthy water cascading down on the town leaving destruction in its wake. How will the town cope with this catastrophe? And how will Maggie Clayton, 20, a carder at the Neva Mill, cope with the consequences of finding herself alone, on the day of the flood, with Danny Beswick, a bright spark of a lad whose intentions are not always honourable? – ASIN: 0956734243 | ISBN13: 9780956734242 | ISBN-13: 978-0956734242
