1864 Flood Floods Hillsborough Industry Johnson Loxley Manufacturers Mills Power River Rivers Rolling Steel Water Wheel Wire Barker Crinoline Limbrick


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to a significant event in the city's history - the Sheffield Flood of 1864. The image, titled "w00429 (Sheffield Flood 1864)" transports us to a time when smoke billowed from towering chimneys, and steel manufacturing was at its peak. In this snapshot, we witness the aftermath of the devastating flood that wreaked havoc on Sheffield's bustling industrial landscape. The remnants of Johnson, Barker & Co. 's crinoline wire manufacturers' rolling mills stand as a haunting reminder of the powerlessness against nature's fury. The photograph captures both destruction and resilience. Limbrick Wheel, once powered by Loxley River's forceful currents, now stands motionless amidst debris left behind by raging waters. It serves as an emblematic symbol of how quickly life can change in the face of natural disasters. As our eyes wander through this scene frozen in time, we cannot help but marvel at how hillsborough residents must have endured such hardships during those dark days. This image is not just about documenting history; it evokes emotions and prompts contemplation about human perseverance amid adversity. While gazing upon this photo print, let us remember those affected by this catastrophic event and appreciate their strength in rebuilding what was lost. May it serve as a poignant reminder that even after facing unimaginable challenges, communities like Sheffield always find ways to rise above them with unwavering determination.
