EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the aftermath of "The Great Inundation near Sheffield" that occurred on 26th March 1864. Preserved from an original at Sheffield Libraries (y13685), this image serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating Sheffield flood and its impact on the local community. The photograph focuses on the Dale Dike Dam, which tragically failed under immense pressure during heavy rainfall, resulting in a catastrophic deluge that swept through Sheffield and surrounding areas. The scene is one of utter destruction; buildings lie partially submerged or completely demolished, debris scattered across what was once familiar streets. Intriguingly, this particular print originates from the Barnsley Chronicle's supplement—a testament to the widespread coverage and public interest generated by this natural disaster. It stands as a historical document capturing both tragedy and resilience within Yorkshire's industrial heartland. Sheffield City Archives have meticulously preserved this invaluable piece of visual history for future generations to reflect upon. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a stark reminder of nature's power and humankind's ability to rebuild even amidst adversity—showcasing how communities come together in times of crisis
