Promoting Mytholmroyd’s community spirit as they fight back from the floods

After photographer Jade Kilbride found a very muddy mug on top of a fridge in Mytholmroyd with the message ‘Friends are like diamonds, precious and rare’, she decided to try and spread the message among the community, taking the mug on a tour of those affected by the floods.

“Given the sentiment and the state of the village I decided to take the mug on tour round those who are up to their knees in mud, yet again,” Jade said.

“I had hoped it would provide a therapeutic benefit - and that is what it has done. Because people had seen it on Facebook they were looking forward to a visit.

“The Co-op have agreed to let me create a collage in the shop so the photos promote the businesses brave enough to re-open after yet another flood.”
