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.
