Wendy Grisdale and William Robinson - Jim Kippax’s neighbours - invited us into their home to describe their experience of the flooding. They had to move out after the first floods, and again 9 months later when they had just moved back in after refurbishment.

This is the third episode in a series telling the stories of members of the Churchtown flood defence group. Churchtown is a village in Lancashire which was flooded from river overflow twice in the space of 8 months in 2015 and 2016.
