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. The barn buildings were flooded but not too seriously damaged. 11 cows, 6 calves and a pig marvellously escaped and were rescued next morning from the barns. The remains of the stables are shown at the bottom of the left hand corner. More information see: The Great Sheffield 1864 Harrison. Ref: 942.74 S The Collapse of the Dale Dyke Dam 1864, Geoffrey Am.
