The Great Sheffield Flood, also known as the Great Inundation, was a flood that devastated parts of Sheffield when the Dale Dyke Dam broke on 11th March 1864. The newly-built dam, at Low Bradfield on the River Loxley, broke while it was being filled for the first time. An estimated 700 million gallons of water swept down the Loxley valley, through Loxley village and on to Malin Bridge and Hillsborough, where the Loxley joins the Don. The flood continued south down the Don into the centre of Sheffield, around the eastward bend of the Don at Lady’s Bridge, then to Attercliffe and on to Rotherham. The subsequent enquiry found that the flood had wrecked nearly every bridge as far as Lady’s Bridge, destroyed 800 houses, and killed 270 people - bodies were later found as far down the Don as Mexborough. The conclusion was that the dam construction was defective, and that a small leak in the wall grew rapidly until the dam failed completely. The claims for damages formed one of the largest insurance claims of the Victorian period. (3)
