	'Fighting for Thirlmere' - MIT News Office
		In 1876, everyone had a vision for Thirlmere, a lake about the size of one of New York's smaller Finger Lakes and renowned for its natural beauty.
		Those who lived near Thirlmere wanted it to remain untouched; those who lived in Manchester, an industrial city 100 miles away, wanted to dam the lake, raise its level by 50 feet, and pipe its water to the city's cisterns to support its growing demand for water.
		The Thirlmere Scheme, as the development plan was known, won out, and in 1894, a dam was completed.

		Thirlmere lay close to the center of the Lake District, which had for a century occupied a pre-eminent position in the pantheon of English natural beauty, even before its sacred status was consolidated by the poetry of William Wordsworth and his fellow Lake poets.
		From this perspective, Thirlmere was a vital link in a chain that connected the entire region, not only because of its geographical position, but because the preservation of every part was essential to the preservation of the whole.
		As one engineer pointed out, "in order to maintain the purity of the water..., the Corporation have purchased the whole drainage ground of the lake, and it is their interest to prevent the erection of buildings, or lead workings, or of anything which will tend to injure or contaminate the water" (4).

		Thirlmere, like many towns, was born with the coming of the Great Southern Railway in 1863 to 1867, when a large temporary tent city grew up to house the railway workers.
		Thirlmere shared in the prosperity brought by the opening of new collieries in the Burragorang Valley (1959) and at Tahmoor (1975), which provided employment opportunities for new residents.
		Together with the beauty of the Lakes, picnic areas, train rides, and the peacefulness of the countryside, Thirlmere is an attractive day's outing for families of travellers and city folk seeking to escape from the bustle of modern life.

	Thirlmere Aqueduct Gets Health Check (from The Westmorland Gazette)
		United Utilities engineers have made history by completely draining the 134km-aqueduct between Thirlmere and Bolton, enabling inspection teams to walk through it from end to end and give it a thorough health check.
		The last time the aqueduct would have been completely empty along its entire length would have been when it was built more than 100 years ago.
		There are no pumps on the aqueduct and water takes just over a day to reach Manchester, making the journey at around 4mph and falling at 20 inches per mile.
