During a period of incredibly low water levels, we explore the exposed remains of the village of Derwent, which was flooded in 1943 to create Ladybower Reservoir in the Peak District. This rare sight reveals the foundations of homes, roads, and the church spire's historic location. The Derwent Valley dams were famously used by the Dambusters for training, but the villages were submerged as part of a major public works project. This video offers a fascinating glimpse into a lost part of English history.
