EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the year 1879, offering a glimpse into the impressive Vickers, Sons and Co. Ltd at River Don Works. Originally built in 1863 for Naylor Vickers and Co. , this industrial marvel stands tall with its towering chimneys dominating the skyline. The image captures the essence of an era defined by steel manufacturing and bustling industry. Located on Brightside Lane, these works were renowned as one of Sheffield's leading steel manufacturers during that time. However, it is impossible to discuss this photograph without mentioning its historical significance - just a year after this picture was taken, disaster struck when the Dale Dyke Reservoir burst. The catastrophic flood that followed engulfed the entire area surrounding River Don Works. This tragic event left an indelible mark on both the landscape and collective memory of Sheffield's residents. As we admire this print today, let us reflect upon not only the remarkable architectural feat presented before us but also pay homage to those who endured such hardships in their pursuit of progress. It serves as a poignant reminder of how nature can shape our lives unexpectedly while showcasing Sheffield's rich industrial heritage.
