  6. Low water levels reveal abandoned villagepublished at 12:03 Greenwich Mean Time 19 November 2018

    BBC News

    Low water levels at a reservoir have revealed a rarely-seen abandoned village that was flooded in the 1940s.

    Derwent, in Derbyshire, made way for the Ladybower Reservoir, which was built between 1935 and 1943.

    Dave Aston from the Peak District's Upper Derwent Visitor Centre said the rare sight of the "exposed village" has attracted many people to the area.

    Earlier in November, one man had to be rescued after he got stuck in the mud while inspecting the ruins.

    A spokeswoman for Severn Trent Water has said the reservoir's levels are "lower than normal" following the "exceptionally dry and hot summer".

    She added the company expects it to refill over the rest of autumn and winter and water can be moved from nearby reservoirs "if needed".
