Low water levels at Ladybower Reservoir have briefly exposed the submerged village of Derwent, flooded in the 1940s.
Low water levels at Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire have briefly revealed the submerged remains of the village of Derwent, flooded in the 1940s to supply water for wartime industrial centers.
Though most of the village lies beneath the reservoir, five homes, farms, and ruins of Derwent Hall remain visible.
The final church service was held in 1943 before the valley was submerged, and the church bell now hangs in St Philip’s Church in Chaddesden.
The site, popular with hikers, has drawn visitors and raised safety and vandalism concerns, prompting park rangers to restrict access.
