Sheffield Flood: Extracts from Old Newspapers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-23) 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 bridges that formerly crossed the stream have been swept away to their foundation stones, and the districts which the streams divide are separated by a rushing torrent of water, which had not subsided even on Saturday. 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. www.rotherhamweb.co.uk /h/extracts/flood.htm   (1788 words)
