  • The Great Sheffield Flood of 1864 We've Just Passed the Anniversary
    The Great Sheffield Flood of 1864 We’ve just passed the anniversary of the disaster of 11th/12th March 1864. If you would like to read more about the history of the flood, look for Mick Drewry’s book, ‘Inundation’. Mick lived in Hillsborough and is a volunteer member of the Hillsborough Community Development Trust. We usually see him at the Sheffield Heritage Fair where the Friends of Parkwood Springs have a stall. Although most of Parkwood Springs stood high and dry above the flood water, many tragedies played out that terrible night within its boundaries and the topography of the steep hillside was important in the course taken by flood water. The story - very briefly: During the 1830s and 40s cholera was rife in Sheffield. The poor were notably blamed for their over-crowded, unhygienic living conditions. It was only when the Master Cutler died from cholera that Sheffield’s sanitation system and water supply were finally improved. Some of the first municipal housing still stands at Hawley Street, built to replace the squalid courts and yards which epitomised Victorian tenement living in industrial cities. Four reservoirs were planned for the Upper Loxley valley and the Dale Dyke Dam was the first, built and owned by the Sheffield Waterworks Company. However, the dam wall had not settled before the reservoir was filled. On the night of 11th March 1864 workmen noticed a crack in the wall. The engineer was sent for from Sheffield, but although the sluice gates were eventually opened the dam wall gave way causing millions of tons of water to flood through the Loxley valley towards Parkwood Springs.

    PARKWOOD SPRINGS From deer park to country park Location and character Parkwood Springs, known to many as Shirecliffe, lies to the east of the River Don in Sheffield. It stretches for about two miles from Owlerton, in the north, to Neepsend in the south. At its highest point it is more than 175 metres (575 feet) above sea level, steeply dropping over 110 metres (360 feet) into the alluvium filled valley of the river. On the highest parts there are magnificent views overlooking the city centre and suburbs from Norton in the south, out to the Peak District moors in the west, to Grenoside in the north, round to Wincobank in the east. In 1862 a local writer said of the view to the west and north-west ‘it is scarcely possible to imagine a more magnificent sight than is presented in the stretch of country laid out before the gaze.’ There then follows a lyrical description of Old Park Wood occupying the hillside in the foreground, the valleys of the rivers Don, Rivelin and Loxley, the hillsides on which Stannington and Loxley stand and the Bradfield moors ‘clad in their purple heather’. Geologically the area lies within the Lower Coal Measures made up of sediments laid down about 300 million years ago. Three sandstones outcrop in the area: Greenmoor Rock, Grenoside Sandstone and Penistone Flags. Ganister, fireclay and thin seams of coal also occur. When humans first settled in and around the area it would have been almost completely wooded and this wooded character survived for centuries. Early place names By the seventh century Anglo-Saxon settlers had colonised South Yorkshire and they were followed by the Danish Vikings in the ninth century and by the Normans in the eleventh century.
