EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield Flood of 1864 showcases the haunting remains of the Shuttle House, once owned by James Sharman, head of Bacon Island. The image captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the devastating aftermath of this historic flood. In the background, we catch a glimpse of another house known as The Grove. Its presence adds to the eerie atmosphere surrounding these ruins. Chimneys and other architectural features stand tall amidst the wreckage, testaments to a thriving industrial era abruptly halted by nature's fury. The significance of Bacon Island becomes apparent as we learn that it was formed when the River Don divided into two branches. Mr. James Sharman's residence on this island earned its name - The Shuttle House - due to his responsibility for operating a shuttle that supplied water to nearby mills and factories downstream. Interestingly, we also notice William and Samuel Butcher's Steel Tilters and Rollers from Philadelphia Steel Works in the distant background. Their presence serves as a reminder that even across continents, industries were interconnected during this tumultuous period. As we delve into this historical photograph preserved by Sheffield City Archives, our minds are transported back to 1864 when rivers overflowed their banks and floods ravaged communities like Neepsend. This image stands as a testament to resilience in face of adversity while reminding us never to underestimate nature's power over human endeavors.
