Does S36 flood?

The S36 postcode district covers Stocksbridge and Upper Don, close to Oxspring Bower Hill, Stocksbridge Steelworks, Penistone, and surrounding villages in parts of South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

62 postcodes in the S36 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 25 high, 7 medium, 30 low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
