Capturing History - Dale Dyke Dam, Bradfield, 1864
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in the history of Yorkshire. The image showcases the iconic Dale Dyke Dam standing tall amidst the picturesque landscape of Bradfield. Dating back to 1864, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an event that shaped the region's future. The mention of "Bradfield, Sheffield Flood" hints at the tragic incident that occurred just two years after this picture was taken. In March 1864, heavy rainfall caused the dam to fail catastrophically, resulting in one of England's most devastating floods. While we cannot see these events unfold within this frame, it is impossible not to feel their weight when gazing upon this historical artifact. Preserved with utmost care by Sheffield Libraries and now available for all to appreciate through this print, it offers a glimpse into both natural beauty and human resilience. This image allows us to reflect on how communities come together during times of crisis and rebuild what nature has taken away. As we admire this piece from Sheffield City Archives today, let us remember those affected by the tragedy while also celebrating their strength and determination in overcoming adversity. May it serve as a testament to our shared heritage and inspire future generations never to forget where they came from or what they can achieve together.
