@derbyshire.discoveries: The old villages of Derwent and Ashopton were flooded by the construction of Derwent Dam in 1943. The water board told people to move and they did, not before dismantling the church to preserve some in nearby Hathersage. There are plenty of old photos of what once was of the villages, but during a drought, parts of it become visible - although exploring it is not safe! I'm curious how many people were aware of the history of Ladybower and if anyone has any stories of here or the surrounding area. #derbyshire #ladybower #derwent #peakdistrictnationalpark

Yes. You can see some of the villages which were left in the summer when the water is low
