EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us back to a significant moment in history - the devastating Sheffield Flood of 1864. The image captures a general view of the ruins at Malin Bridge Village, Hillsborough, showcasing the aftermath of this catastrophic event. In the foreground, we see the remains of Cleakum Inn (also known as Malin Bridge Inn), standing as a haunting reminder of what once was. To its left lies the site where Stag Inn and Turner Wheel used to be, now submerged under water. The presence of these establishments highlights not only their importance within the community but also how deeply they were affected by this natural disaster. The power and force of nature are evident in every detail captured within this photograph. The river (Rivelin or Loxley) that caused such destruction is depicted flowing ominously through what was once a bustling village. Water mills, which once symbolized progress and industry, now stand silent amidst ruined housing and public houses. This image serves as a poignant testament to resilience in times of adversity. It reminds us that even when faced with unimaginable challenges, communities can come together to rebuild and forge ahead towards brighter days. As we gaze upon this historical artifact preserved by Sheffield City Archives, let us remember those who endured this tragedy and honor their strength in overcoming it.
