Illustrations of the Flood at Sheffield: scene in a garden at Hillsborough, 1864. Engraving from a sketch showing ...effects of the water upon substantial buildings...and the heaps of timber drifted into a garden at Hillsborough, from the wreck of the houses above...The inquest...has resulted in a verdict declaring, of course, that the deceased came to their deaths by drowning in the inundation caused by the bursting of the Bradfield Reservoir...and the jury further declare their opinion "that there has not been that engineering skill and that attention to the construction of the works which their magnitude and importance demanded; that the Legislature ought to take such action as will result in a Governmental inspection of all works of this character, and that such inspection ought to be frequent, regular, and sufficient." They add, "we cannot separate without expressing our deep regret at the fearful loss of life which has occurred from the disruption of the Bradfield Reservoir". From "Illustrated London News", 1864.
