Title:	Coloured engraving of scene following the Sheffield Flood: remains of bridge, Hillsborough
Location:	Sheffield_Hillsborough
Date:	1864
Date Period:	1851-1899
Photographer:	Martin Billing, son and Co., Birmingham (engraver)

Notes:	This view represents the bridge at Hillsborough which was destroyed, except the one arch, seen in this engraving. Near to this bridge, a house occupied by one by the name of Whittles, presented an extraordinary spectacle. Another bridge, a few yards beyond was entirely swept away. The force of water may be judged of by the fact that huge stones that formed the parapet of the bridge were carried a considerable distance down the stream. Original at Sheffield Archives ref. SY473/Z9/10.
