- Between 1935 and 1945 a large dam was built across the River Derwent in Derbyshire, England. As a result, the picturesque villages of Derwent and Ashopton were submerged. This video shows the remains of Derwent village in January 1996 during a period of drought.

Our children walked and played here so often when they were growing up. We now live in the Emirates and so watching your informative film and seeing all our familiar sights is just the tonic when we miss England. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and upload this.
Many thanks! Apparently, the Vicar of Derwent was allowed to stay in the vicarage, at the water's edge, until he died in 1945. Many of the inhabitants moved into the Water Board's specially-built housing at Yorkshire Bridge, some 3.5 miles away. Others went to various locations in the High Peak. Also, the 284 people buried in the church grounds were moved and re-buried in a special extension to Bamford churchyard.
just found this,many thanks for uploading it.I was up there when it was empty and the ground froze and was stunned to see the remains even down to the lawns of the hall,didnt have video camera just an old 35mm.Also not all the mud was solid as i found out by sinking up to me waist and has to dig me legs free with me walking stick!! i baked solid on way back home,thanks again
Many thanks - it certainly was muddy, and I was lucky to miss the part you found!
So sad for these 2 villages to be destroyed and flooded
But we will never forget this :(
Great videos and thanks for the details
Good to hear your thoughts. Many thanks.
Thank you very much for your kind comments. It's good to hear that the video has brought back some good memories for you all.
Thank you for your tone and effort in these small video's enjoyed every second of them! Fantastic!
Thanks again - it was a great experience getting those videos, so it's nice to be able to pass it on via TH-cam.
Excellent and well presented set of videos. Thanks for sharing these 👍
Many thanks - it's great to have the feedback.
Ahhh thankyou makes sence to have it like that. Learnt more in these videos than what I did in 10 websites! Great to be able to see what the village looked like during a drought! I'd love to go and walk on the ruins! Again thanks!
Many thanks for your comments - glad you found it of interest!
Good to hear that you enjoyed them - many thanks!
3 great videos. Thank you.
Many thanks!
Lovely video thank you,another interesting place is Tyneham in Dorset.
Many thanks - and very grateful for the reference to Tyneham.
Good to read your feedback - many thanks!
Great to have such positive comments - many thanks!
I first watched your videos when the very first stones of the church started appearing this August, they have been so handy for checking which bits of the village have been poking out each time I've gone up (more than I'd like to admit over the last three months or so) and really great helping me get my bearings. I never thought when I fist watched them in August that all of this would be out in mid November, how lucky have we been! Thanks for providing a great reference video, have you been up this autum for a revisit?
Thanks for a great set of videos
Many thanks for your interest! In answer to your other query, the 284 people buried in the church grounds were moved and re-buried in a special extension to Bamford churchyard. The full story is in the books listed at the end of the video.
Great work! Fascinating and interesting!
Many thanks for the positive comments!
Great stuff. Can still hear my Auntie Anne's Hallowe'en stories of ghostly bells from the church in my head now. Really must go back soon.
Many thanks for your memories (including those in Part 2).
Great bit of history, cheers!
Many thanks!
A* for the 3 videos. I've been facinated with this and bought the book and been for a look but the water was level was way up. Cant wait for a drout to get over there and have a look. Many thanks, Rob

A brilliant and well documented account 10/10.
@broguefletch
Many thanks - good to hear that it was of interest!

Many thanks - the contrast between what it used to be and what it is now is certainly difficult to reconcile.
I find this similar to the film "Patagonia" where the old lady returns to her family's village in Wales from Patagonia only to find its at the bottom of the reservoir!
@Pricklyghost106
Thanks for the encouraging feedback - it's appreciated!
Am I correct in thinking that the building that can be seen at 0:40 on the other side of the Derwent is the valve house marked on the map? It would be really interesting to see more of that since it appears to be the only building left intact.
Thanks for your enquiry - it is the valve house that is marked on the map. There are some views of the valve house on my other two Submerged Village of Derwent videos (Part 1 and Part 2). See Part 1 at 2:00 and Part 2 at 1:06, 2:51, 3:11 and 4:49.
Such a massive shame that such a beautiful village was submerged!! Am I right in saying that a new village was built for the people of ashopton and the silent valley? If so, what is it called. 10/10 for the 3 videos!
A number of families moved to a housing estate at Yorkshire Bridge, just below Ladybower dam, built by the Derwent Valley Water Board for its employees.
I feel very much for those people who have to leave their beloved village due to the construction of the Ladybower Reservoir, But they should have made a special memorial :(
Thank you very much for your thoughts.
