Former railway revealed by low water levels at reservoirpublished at 12:08 British Summer Time 3 September 2021

BBC NewsThe water in Derwent Reservoir in Derbyshire is so low at the moment the base of a railway that was used in its construction has been unveiled.
The supports for the line were spotted by Lee Broughton from Stocksbridge, Sheffield, who regularly walks around the Peak District.
"I've been round the reservoir quite a few times but never seen them," he said.
"I've never seen it [the water level] that low before."
Image source, Lee BroughtonThe reservoir is one of three in the area that were built in the 1940s.
The remains of the two villages that were flooded to make way for the reservoirs - Derwent and Ashopton - are sometimes revealed when water levels run very low.
In 2018 the water levels of Ladybower Reservoir fell so low the drowned village of Derwent could be seen once more, almost 100 years after it was flooded by the creation of the reservoir.

Read More'Sickening' specialist fencing theft delays beaver enclosurepublished at 18:37 British Summer Time 2 September 2021
Samantha Noble
BBC News OnlineStaff at a wildlife trust have called the theft of £10,000 worth of specialist fencing mesh for a beaver enclosure "sickening".
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust (NWT) said 17 rolls of the material, which is in short supply, was taken overnight from the Idle Valley Nature Reserve, in Retford, on Tuesday.
Another three rolls were taken last night, totalling 2km of fencing, and a forklift truck belonging to contractors was also stolen.
The trust said beavers are due to arrive from Scotland and be reintroduced in Nottinghamshire this month after a 400-year absence.
This theft has delayed the construction of an enclosure but they are determined to keep the project on track.
Image source, Nottinghamshire Wildlife TrustJanice Bradley, from NWT, said: “The fencing materials were hidden well out of sight behind a locked barrier but someone who clearly knew exactly where to find them has cut the padlock off overnight and stolen them."
She added: “This is a sickening theft of specialist materials vital to our efforts to construct the secure enclosure ahead of the arrival of beavers from Scotland in the next few weeks."
She said the fencing was in short supply across the UK and they've been waiting for delivery for weeks "so it is hugely upsetting and frustrating to have the project delayed due to criminal activity”.
Image source, Nottinghamshire Wildlife TrustInsp Kylie Davies, from Nottinghamshire Police said: “Investigations are currently ongoing and we would ask anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any information that may help our investigation to get in contact with us.”
