A great video, and rather poignant for me. After returning from the horrors of the "Great " War, and suffering from the effects of mustard gas, my grandfather took on a chicken farm at Ashopton. To think that he would have walked those roads and worshipped in the church, sends a shiver down my back.

That's incredible to think about Rich. He really would've walked that very place. Wow.

When I was younger me and my late grandparents used go to the Dronfield Contact Club every Sunday. They got to know a few locals we used to sit with a lady who in her younger years used to walk in the Peak District and Derwent Valley was one of her favourite spots. Nora was born in 1912 she would get on the bus and get off at Ashopton Inn I think she used to go in the pub sometimes. She did mention Derwent Hall at that time it was used by the Youth Hostel Association you could visit it, later the Hall was used by a girl's school after they got bombed out. They stayed for a few years before returning back to Sheffield. I got the impression Nora never really approved of the flooding of the valley she visited once after the dam was completed she never went back.

What a beautiful area but also a sad sight to see the remains of what was once a thriving and beautiful Village

I agree. Thanks so much for watching :)

The mysterious road at about18 minutes in could be the old drovers road, where they brought sheep from further afield on the way to market. There is (or was) an old drovers bridge right up the valley where the path gets steeper. The church tower was originally left standing, but was blown up after people started to swim out toit for a dare. Back in the 1960s there was another drought, and the photographs that I had from that time showed the valley with a lot less water than today. The ghostly shape at 20 minutes looks like an old garden. There is obviously nearest the camera a cross with a ring. The map quite clearly shows some gardens there, and it matches with my original 1920s/1930s map of the area, which states that this is either the site of Derwent Hall or Hollinclough Farm, not sure which because of the scale.Why it is marked Waterhouses I'm not sure, but it could be because after the building of Howden Dam, Sheffield Corporation did buy some houses in the area for water board staff to live in. The steps and wall could be part of a tiered garden scheme, rather than a loading bay. Also in that area was Dabbey Grange, and Howden House. There are various small streams, Abbey Brook, separating Dabbey Grange and Howden House and Cranberry Clough, opposite Slippery Stones, although I think these were covered by the Howden Dam. The whole area was a training ground for the Lancaster Bombers that made up the Dam Busters in the 2nd World War. If you want a scan of the map, please let me know.

Very interesting, but so sad, the ghosts of people’s lives

That’s incredible, it’s like those gardens have come to life again as the grass seed has regrown … amazing

To fully understand the landscape you need to study the 1900, the 1920's and the 1940's OS maps, The building you call pump houses are manual valve houses to control flow. Notice no power input. The submerged one is for the pre Ladybower pipe line from Derwent reservoir which was duplicated to its current position near the old railway line track bed, so it was not underwater as Ladybower filled. The pipeline goes through the road bridge structure. A57. I had a great uncle who had to move from his farm near the Ashopton railway viaduct as the dam was started. His whole farm equipment and animals where moved by train to Ashbourne - Derby road. He lost half his farm to the RAF when they built Ashbourne airfield in the early 40.s.

I see the church spire was still standing before it's demolition in 1947, and the water level is about the same as it was on your visit. Kind of blows away the argument that it's global warming that is responsible for the low water now, when it was at least as low 80 odd years ago.

Interesting how all those plants/weeds that have laid dormant for decades have suddenly sprung to life given some sunlight.

Love these types of videos all that history forgotten in time All memories gone

One of your best so far ! I was lucky enough a few years ago to fly at low level between those two towers on the Dam in a Faulke Motor Glider ( VW beetle engine ) from Camp Hill. You never realise what was once under that expanse of water. Great work !

I went up 2 weeks ago and there was more visible. If you can get your hands on The Silent Valley book by Vic Hallam it tells you about the village and there's loads of old photos. I was lucky to see the village in 2018 when levels dropped really low. 😊

I walked around Ladybower last week and also noticed the area around Water Houses 20:26. The stones used to mark out these squares are single stones laid on edge, it's not like they are the remnants of foundation stones, the area looks more likely the remains of a kitchen garden. They are also extremely clean, like they were laid yesterday, no build up of sediment or moss. What I also find fascinating is how the weeds are growing prolifically in the square's yet hardly at all on the paths, in other words after all these years under water the soil within the square is still so much more fertile than on the path.

Such a sad vid when you see those B&W photos. Looks like they actually demolished the buildings before flooding it?? Loving the drone work showing what looked like a formal garden layout. Another one of your enthusiastic vids, thanks Ant👍👍👍👍

Thanks for a entertaining program. So sad that todays paranoia about cameras will not show our history to future generations. Those old photographs of buildings, vehicles, people and the clothes they wore back in time are priceless.

At 20:18 that looks like a laid out formal garden, the water works may reference to fountains, perhaps at the 2 circular shapes up the higher contour.

I remember visiting Derwent during the drought of 95 people were having picnics on the valley floor, there was no water at all where the village used to be the Lady Bower viaduct had no water at al under it. I saw a man walking under it like he was strolling down a deserted motorway, i took lots of pictures that day and returned the following year to take more after the reservoir had filled up.

Very interesting video. I was also there in 1976 with my Dad and two younger brothers. It was very low then and you could see a lot of the Ashopton foundations. The famous Derwent church spire had gone by them although my Dad told us about it as he had seen it many times before I was born.

They drowned a small village when they built the dam that created Ruislip Lido, (as it is called now), and the foundations are still there. At 15:35, someone needs turn the tap on, and bluidy quick.

Like looking back in time! It's amazing what is revealed when the water is so low. Certainly ghosts of the past. At around 20:26 when your showing the aerial view, it looks like the remains of some grand garden - the type of thing a hall or manor house might of had. Certainly very formerly laid out. Would love to find some old photos of the garden at it's prime. I can almost imagine the gardeners doing their work, pruning the roses and trimming hedges. Lovely to get a glimpse of the past like this. EDIT - Did you know that the famous 617 squadron - the dam busters, used derwent dam for practice sorties prior to their flights over to Germany during WW2. Must have been quite a sight seeing Lancaster bombers flying in low across the dam, and then out over the valley that once contained the village of Derwent. Just so much history!

Lovely video, the melancholic music evoking a sadness of times past. Thanks for exploring and showing us along with the old photos what it was like. Thant amazing submerged bridge! shame...

Great video, really love Derwent. Unsure what the tarmac road is early in the vid but looking on the old maps there is a couple of fords crossing the river (shows how shallow it was), the wall I assume was an old farm wall, there's a few visible along the edges of the reservoir. You can usually drive all the way up to Howden Reservoir, but only on week days, however its closed currently due to tree felling. The ruin now visible with yellow stone in it is Derwent Hall, there's a few old photos of this online, in Oct 2018 I was able to walk in the ruins. I'm hoping next week when I return I can see the lover's seat that was close by and next to the river 🤞 The gardens were the kitchen gardens, next to the waterhouses. Amazing how they look on the drone footage, the paths clearly visible still after all this time. There was another ford that's visible where the Derwent bends just past the pipeline, and a ruin inc a hole to presumably a cellar, it's close to Fairholmes which was a former farm, but the building now visible isn't on old maps. Something else that remains a mystery is some foundations of something up on Howden Reservoir. I recently found a document online containing old farms in the area but this ruin wasn't mentioned so I can only assume it was either a house or a barn. Would be great, or worrying perhaps, to see Ashopton Village, but I've seen that it's highly unlikely due to the amount of silt built up in Ladybower reservoir, plus you've only got to work out how far underwater it is given the size of the viaduct and how it currently looks. I reckon that's gone forever. One house remains of Ashopton at least, Ginett House on the banks of the reservoir, as Miss Cotterill refused to move out.

The parallel lines were likely an old vegetable garden, or possibly a cut flower garden, a market garden maybe, because it looks like there might have been raised beds with a path alongside. The houses provided to the waterboard staff may have had allotments as it was common practice to provide them for such people as railway workers at the time, on the other hand maybe there was some sort of water treatment works there, however sewage works of that sort of era were usually circular. I have seen a number of them. If there is a more detailed map in existence it might help.
