Description: | Information from Malcolm Nunn, Bradfield Parish Council Archivist This is an image used in slide lectures/ magic lantern shows by photographer Mr. Peacock. His notes to accompany the lectures also included some of his experiences while taking the photograph. "Ruins in the middle of Owlerton - in one house two sons slept downstairs, they were awakened by feeling the bed floating about the room. The eldest boy aged 13 fell off and was drowned, the other was saved - his head touched the ceiling and there was only three inches between the ceiling and the water. The parents were upstairs and could not render any assistance. In another house the water burst open the door and washed the body of a man inside who was quite naked which inmates mistook for a pig until light was provided."
