Anyone who’s interested in this subject and also likes reading crime detective novels, please try ‘Cut to the Bone’ by Roz Watkins. It’s set right here in this location, and the reservoir plays a big part. 5 star recommendation!
Who really knows the truth of who actually designed and built Chatsworth House. No way was it built by these so called 'Dukes' and by labourers with horses and carts. Simply not possible. Just the incredible architecture, design and layout was the work of some very high level civilisation like many buildings around the world. The official stories for all these buildings is laughable. Eden-sor...what does that tell you? Changing the way it is pronounced doesn't hide it's true meaning. Something happened around 1666 and from there HIS Story started.
I read that the Vicar and his wife were walking one day ,and she said she could smell flowers so sweetly.That was what the victims of the plague smelt .Of course she died
old inhabitants talk of an even greater beauty before the devastating inundation. A great work of engineering though. I am torn between my heart and my intellect. being an artist though , my heart tends to win; my sympathies are aligned with the lost world. Alas life always moves on, we cannot hold on to the past. new generations soon adapt or are not even aware of of what had happened before in their ever changing landscape. Mores the pity.
That was a really good documentary but it's so sad that all that community was dispersed. I'm from Manchester and of course so many buildings were cleared in the 1960's. I can see them so clearly in my mind's eye!
Great video. Was just here (September 22) the water is down again, similar to this video, but you explained and answered what we had been wondering about it. Thanks!
They say the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. I'm not sure that would have been much comfort to most of the villagers, who lost not only their homes but their entire communities, with no chance of going back to visit. A very sad thought.
🌧☀️🌵🌹🌴🌷🌾🪴It is Messed up how the elites destroy ancient building for a dam, when electricity can be harnessed from the aether as it was done in the past. A lot of things are made desolate and hidden from us on purpose. 💯💯💯The spiritual wars of this world are mind blowing if you have the spirit to understand it. Submit yourselves to God and the Lord Jesus Christ. 🌧☀️🍀🌷🌳🌴🌿🌵🌹🪴
I just visited this area a few weeks ago. I had no idea of the history here. I'm from the States, it is a beautiful place, but it must have been so hard for people to leave their homes... Kinda sad.
Thankyou that was incredibly well presented and as u say humbling, the things men do often make me wonder Why Why Why. Maybe one day they'll leave something beautiful alone to just be. 🇦🇺🌈
In the states they call this imminent domaine..where the government comes up and tells you they need your property “for the better community good”. You really don’t have much of a choice…so you accept their terms..sad really and dare I say unfair.
So sad that such a beautiful place was destroyed. The photos of the past show that it was a lovely little town and I can't even imagine what it was like for the citizens to have "home" flooded and wiped away. All they had left were memories...I would have been furious if they did this to my home!
Thank you for this. I hiked to Chatsworth from Bakewell in the late 90's and coming over the hill and seeing the village was a life changing moment for me.
I'm a little confused because the 'description' below the video contradicts what the lady was saying on video about who and when it was demolished. She says it was the 4th duke in the 1750's but the description states it was the 6th who demolished and rebuilt between 1838 and 1842.
The reservoir was obviously needed. However given the historical and cultural issues, never mind the social concerns, I don't believe it would have received planning permission today..
That's very sad. If I visited I think I would be very moved. To think that once the seasons turned and the years and all the lives that called that drowned village home. Cats and dogs and all manner of animals roamed and slept in the sun... Progress?? Ruination. 😔😔
Great video Suzanne - so well put together and your commentary was excellent. We plan to relocate to the Peak District (I was born in Derbyshire) and your video has brought back the pleasure of Peak District visits from my childhood years. Thank you!
