If I understand correctly, only two households were displaced by this reservoir, even so, that detail about the exhumation and relocation of the bodies in the churchyard is sad. The information about the Welsh village that was drowned is sadder. Fascinating stuff as ever. Thank you!
You're still doing super videos Catherine. I visited Thruscross in 2022 after seeing your video and it's a great memory. I'm inspired now to make a return visit. A good excuse for a good walk . It's lovely up there. Thanks to Simon too .
I’m a child of the 60s who grew up not too far from here so the woods and reservoirs where our play ground and we where well aware of the history of this place and you are right it has an air of spookyness or something similar.Great video which brought back happy memories.
Really loving the camera work in this video and that heatwave of 2022 was a b***h but at least it gave a chance of a ruined village. Great video Catharine
A'reyt Catherine. I used to pass tankers of water endlessly filling Pennine reservoirs in the drought in the 1990s. I remember two such years in the mid 1970s. I have tried to comment about your videos on TH-cam where appropriate and sent a couple of links, but it is usually as a reply. Other TH-camrs do not want their videos to just be a way to promote stuff that is not their own, so I try to make sure it makes sense.
Reasonable reclamation of land for resources as in for the greater good of all is good but sad in the case of towns and villages that no longer exist as a result, a very touchy subject. And just as touchy, historical areas...... let's put it this way, so long as it's been documented it will never be forgotten and perhaps in the future with better technology and understanding of said resources the town you've featured will be once again dry and as vibrant as the best days of yore. Nothing is ever forgotten so long as there are eager minds with a thirst for knowledge to remember.
Great video, thank you for the content you have made over the years. I have learned so much! I was wondering if you have looked much at Cromwell Bottom (near Brookfoot, between Brighouse and Elland). That is very close to where I grew up and I know it has a lot of civil war history. I would be super interested to learn more about the history of the area. Keep up the good work! ❤
I'm here after being heartbroken after seeing Thruscross yesterday for the first time since 2019 after the moved away from the area 😢 I didn't know what had happened, I only saw 2 other on my walk, so gutted not to be able to walk down by the brook before you go up onto the moors
There are a lot of houses now built on marshes so we lose some houses and get much more. The shame is the loss of farming land. But many the lake should be allowed to be used for recreational and light commercial.

Informative as always.

The water always looks black 😳 lovely to hear about your memories, I really love visiting and walking there
I remember you from your Google+ channel! Glad to see you again.
Great video again Catherine......Loving the HD Camera work
This is such a professional quality report; it looks and feels like it should be on the BBC. Good work Catherine, and your team.

Thanks, I'll have a look!
Water management isn't the most exciting topic but its one of the most important in the 21st century.
Percy Bysshe. Excellent.
We used to have water security. Then came water privatisation and the selling off of reservoirs.
... yep, and thereby came the collapse of reinvestment in new and replacement infrastructure, with it just being run for cash out

Totanka Yotanka (Sitting Bull) said that nothing lasts forever, only the earth and the mountains. Certainly not those man made.
