EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of the devastating Sheffield Flood in 1864. The image showcases the extensive damage caused at the head of Bacon Island, formed by the River Don dividing into two branches. On the left side of the picture stands a house known as The Grove, which was referred to as a Boarding School in the book "Photographs of the Sheffield Flood". The Goit, visible on the right side, would have likely run under what is now Osbourn Mushett building (constructed in 1999), with the river flowing alongside it. The photograph offers a glimpse into a scene filled with ruins and destruction. Detached houses can be seen scattered around, bearing witness to nature's wrath during this tragic event. It is worth noting that this caption does not refer to any commercial use but rather focuses on historical significance. The Sheffield Flood remains etched in history as one of England's most catastrophic floods. This image serves as a poignant reminder of its impact and provides valuable insight into how communities coped with such natural disasters over a century ago.
