Description: | Undated. A photograph from the 1920s or 1930s entitled "Looking down on Morla' Oil". It shows the houses around the edge and at the bottom of Morley Hole. Most of those seen on this particular photograph were demolished in the 1930s. During the 1920s a severe thunderstorm hit Morley bringing a torrential downpour with it; the surface run off down Bruntcliffe Lane was tremendous and much of the water ponded up in Morley Hole flooding the houses to first floor level and causing the people to be rescued by boat from the bedroom windows.
