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? 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 necessarily honourable?

Thanks for visiting the site. My name is John Wheatley and I am a writer based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, UK. I write fiction - novels and short stories. Most of my work has a strong regional flavour. I have five novels with historical settings on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales; five set in Middleton, my own home town which is near to Manchester in the NW of England. At the present time, my work centres on Huddersfield and the Yorkshire Coast. View more posts
