 The Derwent Dams provide water for Sheffield, Derby, Nottingham and Leicester   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The upper two dams, Howden and Derwent, were constructed between 1901 and 1916 and they were such a large undertaking that a village called Birchinlee was constructed in the upper valley to house the workers and a narrow-gauge railway was built between Howden Dam and the Midland Railway at Bamford.
Derwent village can still be seen in very dry summers such as 1959, 1976 and 1995, and the spire of the church was left standing until 1959, when it was demolished.
Another claim to fame for the Derwent reservoirs is their association with the 'Dambuster' squadron of the RAF, for they used the Derwent to practise for their famous raid on the Ruhr dams.

A major change to the Upper Derwent landscape came in the first half of the 20th century with the building of three large dams to create Howden, Derwent and Ladybower Reservoirs.
Howden and Derwent dams were built between 1901 and 1916 of huge Millstone Grit blocks quarried from near Grindleford and transported on a specially built railway line.
This is now the landscape visitors are familiar with in the Upper Derwent – the plantations fringing the reservoirs and the impressive towers of Derwent and Howden dams rising towards the sky.
