Luddenden

This was a Brythonic area, speaking a form of primitive Welsh, until perhaps the 9th century as a relict of the kingdom of Elmet.In recent years scenes from Happy Valley starring Sarah Lancashire and Gentleman Jack starring Suranne Jones have been filmed in and around the village [7] In May 1989, an extreme rainfall event was recorded at 7.6 inches (192 mm) over the course of two hours at the Walshaw Dean rainfall gauge.The resultant flood, one of the worst seen in Calderdale, drove a huge amount of water through the village which damaged roads, houses and industrial premises.[13] The village was a regular entrant in the Yorkshire in Bloom competition from 1998, and won an award every time they entered winning five gold and three silver medals up until 2013.A History of The Lord Nelson, Luddenden Paperback: 16 pages Publisher: Burning Book Press; First edition (1 January 1992) Language: English
