The lost village of Derwent revealed during low water at Ladybower Reservoir. 4k drone footage

A rare glimpse at the eerie ghostly remains of the Derwent village that are revealed during drought at Ladybower Reservoir.
Maps in this video were sourced from the National Library of Scotland, and have been used as an overlay for some of the drone footage.
The largest foundation remaining are those from Derwent Hall which was built in 1672 demolished in 1944 in preparation for the valley to be flooded, creating the reservoir.
Alongside the hall, foundations from the Church, school, arched bridges and farms still remain. On the opposite side of the river a valve house remains almost intact.
Further down the valley towards the viaduct stood another village named Ashopton, but water levels need to be incredibly low to catch a glimpse of what once was.

Absolutely incredible. So brilliant to see the drone shots looking directly from above, and then with the old maps overlaid. Thank you

That beautiful curved rooftop building should be taken down and rebuilt somewhere as a memory of Derwent. And those old Ordinance Survey maps made by the British existed long before Google maps did.

[@flyoptics7952]

Yeah, that building has stood up really well over all the years. It's an old valve house used to divert water from the Howden and Derwent dams. Ladybower has similar buildings towards the viaduct. Love the OS maps old and new. A lot of graft was put in back in the day to create those.

Excellent that, loved it

[@emmajacobs5575]

Fascinating stuff. The map overlays make it much easier to place things that we only see as random shots in other videos/photographs. I particularly like how the fishpond has become a separate pond again!

[@flyoptics7952]

Thank you! Yeah I quire like that bit too. That helped with the alignment of thr maps
