Description: | Shattered rafters and twisted slates tell the story of the hurricane's fury when it hit Sandygate, Sheffield. Even these new houses in Redmires Road could not withstand the tremendous blast as whole corners were ripped away. jutting beams still battered by the gale sway dangerously and housewives fearfully wonder when the terror will end.
A state of emergency was declared as a result of 96 mile an hour hurricane winds which had battered Sheffield and District. Four people were killed, Jack Johnson, aged 17 of Coldwell Street, Attercliffe; Mrs. Shirley Hill, wife of the Vicar of Brightside, the Rev. C. Hill, Firth Park Avenue, Sheffield; Mrs. Ida Stabbs aged 57, 112 Crookes,Sheffield and Mrs. Beryl Dickinson aged 19 of Balk Farm, Birdwell, near Barnsley.
