Above is a photo of old Backsbottom Farmhouse ( not the original farmhouse)....the only one I can find in fact before the flood in 1967

Personal accounts of Alice and Bill Brown's terrifying ordeal as they survived the impact of the flood water hitting the house can be found in the book Wray Flood and Wray and District Remembered (both in our bookcases at Roeburnscar). Rod is researching the causes of flooding (river restoration blog)
