Geography
The village is at the junction of the A58 and A659 roads. It is separated from Linton to the north by the River Wharfe and linked to it via Linton Bridge. Wetherby to the north east is accessed via Linton or the A58 road from Leeds. The A659 road to Harewood crosses the Collingham Beck, a tributary of the Wharfe, over the listed Collingham Bridge. To the east is access to the A1(M) motorway and Boston Spa.
Collingham has had problems with flooding and was affected by the 2007 UK Floods. Collingham Beck has a tendency to swell very quickly. During the 2007 UK Floods it flooded Millbeck Green and the A58 Leeds Road reaching the boundaries of the Half Moon and Old Star public houses.
Shortly after 18:00 (BST) 26 December 2015, the monitoring station at Collingham for the River Wharfe reached a record high of 5.25 metres (17.2 ft) above ordnance datum (previous high level was 4.7 metres [15 ft] AOD). Linton Bridge was damaged in the flood cracks appeared in the deck and its parapets sagged. The grade II listed bridge was closed to all traffic for repairs until September 2017. The time and the £5 million cost of the project was due to the fact that the ground underneath the piers had shifted the bridge.
