The Bradfield reservoir was formed by throwing an embankment across the gorge, thereby intercepting the moorland stream which gradually filled up the whole of the valley to nearly the level of the top of the embankment.
Very soon Bradfield is reached, and there too lights are seen in some of the windows, and the inhabitants are astir, notwithstanding the coldness of the night and the tempest which blows down the valley.

 THE DEVELOPMENT OF SURNAMES IN THE SHEFFIELD AREA
Sheffield had two coopers and Rotherham had a maltster (Table 2) but there is no mention in the subsidy rolls for these parishes of any brewers, even though Brewester is not an uncommon surname in the subsidy rolls in other parts of the West Riding.
Within the parish of Sheffield, 26 subsidy payers are referred to in relation to someone else, rather than by a surname.
Many of the locational surnames found in the 1379 subsidy rolls for Sheffield and surrounding parishes derive from places within the parishes that are still locatable and which sometimes, but not always indicate descent from a family owned freehold or copyhold tenure at that place.

 Sheffield Flood: Extracts from Old Newspapers
The great reservoir of the Sheffield Water Company—a reservoir nearly 100 acres in extent, and which held more than a million cubic feet of water, suddenly burst its embankment and swept with the fury of another Deluge down the narrow gorge formed by the Loxley and Stannington Hills into Sheffield itself.
The Bradfield Reservoir which gave way so fatally was of immense length, though narrow in width and would hold 114,000,000 cubic feet of water when it was full.
Turning toward Sheffield and embracing a brief exploration of the ruins showed that the tidings of disaster failed to represent the full extent of the dreadful catastrophe.
