These are from a set of magic lantern slides which were exhibited for a couple of decades after the flood and then forgotten they were rediscovered and published in this book 'The Great Sheffield Flood 1864: A Collection of Lantern Slides and Accompanying Text' - E. G. Draper (1995 which may still be available.

The author's research was a bit lame, she claimed there was no memorial for the great flood. If she had opened her eyes, she would have found that the memorial is down Millsands

I'm looking for educational resources on the Great Sheffield Flood - particularly a mock up of the area - does anything exist anywhere?

Thanks
