Information from Malcolm Nunn, Bradfield Parish Council Archivist. This is an image used in slide lectures/ magic lantern shows by photographer Mr. Peacock. His notes to accompany the lectures also included some of his experiences while taking the photograph. A nearer view- the houses behind the gardens were flooded but no great damage done. A stable between the works and the river disappeared but the horse was found uninjured a long way downstream. For more information see: and The Great Sheffield 1864 Harrison. Ref: 942.74 S. The C.
