I need somewhere nice to live

Some people have unconventional lifestyles, on my travels I came across a whole community living semi permanently on canal boats, here in Hebden Bridge.

At least they don't have to worry about flooding! Which is a major problem sometimes in Yorkshire.

Good question, what happens during a flood?

The river valley floods but what about the nearby canal?  I don't know.

Canals rArely flood cos the water flows are managed. And when they do flood it's rarely an issue either for boats or area.
