Don't suffer alone when the help is out there!
Sandbags at the ready! Middleton has had two great floods, both in the month of July! The first occurred on 14th July, 1828 but by far the most tragic was the great flood of 1927 on 10th July in which 3 local people lost their lives.
Also the De La Salle brothers purchased Hopwood Hall and grounds for £12,500 in July 1946. Had it not happened then, imagine price tag today for the Hall and grounds along with its development potential. It is such a shame it didn't end up in the hands of somebody with a more sympathetic approach and constructive ideas for the future of our old Hall.

The club lasted 36 years from 1887-1923. Tonge Meadow development now occupies the site.
