Joseph (Joe) Scarborough (b.1938) ``The Return of Bill ``Iron`` Hague the British Heavyweight Boxer to Mexborough Station`` Signed and dated (19)87, oil on canvas, 76cm by 102cm Sold with a typed story on the return of Bill ``Iron`` Hague after winning the British Heavyweight title in London in 1909. The picture depicts the Montague Arms, fairground, market hall and market place; with other written provenance relating to the historical element of the scene and various sketches by the artist etc Born in Sheffield, he is most famous for painting humorous scenes of Sheffield life. A face worker at the Thorpe Hesley colliery, he was inspired to paint by the contrast of the darkness of the mines and the lightness of the real world above the ground. In 1968 disenchantment with the pits led to numerous jobs - labourer, municipal park gardener and washer-upper. For years he pushed a handcart, packed with paintings round all his local pubs selling what he could in almost folkloric-like tradition, becoming at times like the characters he went on to portray in later scenes See illustration

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)
