===2015=== Mytholmroyd was severely affected by the [[2015β16 Great Britain and Ireland floods|Boxing Day floods in 2015]], when the [[River Calder, West Yorkshire|River Calder]] and the canal both rose to cover the valley floor, and consequently the town centre of Mytholmroyd. It was the highest ever recorded river level. Hundreds of homes and businesses were devastated, with some buildings still empty in 2017. The row of shops north of County Bridge partially collapsed into the river, and Β£10 million was earmarked for future protection of the village.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/525893/Mytholmroyd_Action_Plan_FINAL.pdf|title=Mytholmroyd Flood Alleviation Scheme|date=May 2016|website=assets.publishing.service.gov.uk - Environment Agency|access-date=24 November 2019}}</ref> The whole row of shops which partially collapsed have been fully demolished, along with homes along the riverbank at Calder Grove. By 2018, Russell Dean Furnishers had their furniture showroom above ground level and the [[Co-op Food]] built a replacement store.
