On the night of 11 March 1864 Lady 's Bridge narrowly avoided destruction when the waters of the Great Sheffield Flood poured over it . Nearly every other bridge upstream in the path of the flood had been smashed by the waters and the debris that they carried . A contemporary account described the scene : During the 2007 United Kingdom floods , Sheffield was badly hit , and Lady 's Bridge and the Wicker in particular . Lady 's Bridge was overwhelmed with water as it , the Wicker and the Blonk Street Bridge were flooded , and Lady 's Bridge itself was at one point reported to be in danger of collapse
