Shopping Precinct Flooding
From: Articles
Steve Grundy and Andy Hayes walking the walk
When I first came across these photos not a lot was known however thanks to the power of friends we have found out a lot more . We now believe it to be a burst water main which as you can plainly see affected many shops in the precinct .The first photo is of Garry Drinkwater who remembers this incident as he was on Oswaldtwistles’ retained pump which came over to assist. The second is still a mystery but might be Chris Norse, the third is of Mick Joseph and the third Andy Hayes and Steve Grundy

Andy Hayes defo you! I realised it wasnt me when I worked out it was Steve Grundy! But I did do well in the race!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steve Grundy, I think you forgot to turn the hydrant off, before you took the standpipe away.
It is me, and Steve Grundy I think.
Steve Grundy and Andy Heyes
Definitely Andy H
Steve Grundy?Andy Heys I think Karl?
I think that’s me on the right! I did however run that road race and did quite well if I remember rightly!!!
Definitely Jo Joseph who is WM Red Watch USAR based next to Chorley Fire Station at STC
As far as I remember it was a burst water main, I came with Oswaldtwistle ‘ s pump so it must have been over 4 pumps, we were tasked with pumping out the loading bay below the shops.
I think this is possibly me!
