Bamford

With a splendid view over Ladybower reservoir. Well I think it is

Following on from the last image of Bamford Edge... I don't usually post several images from a location in succession but it seemed right to do so on this occasion as this directly follows the last image in terms of the reason for being there.

A fabulous sunset and and sky on Bamford Edge which, if we had left it much longer we would have missed, "on the last minute" would probably be the best way to describe our arrival here.. I do like to get to places early and set up and wait but a visit to a friend of mine nearby did delay us a while, as did the climb up to here after a Steak and Ale Pie in the Pub.... luckily it all worked out nicely, apart from being very out of breath for quite a while!

Ashopton stood roughly where the road to the Snake Pass met the Snake valley. The buildings in Ashopton were demolished before the reservoir was filled, but much of the structure of Derwent village was still visible during a dry summer some 14 years later. The narrow stone Packhorse Bridge over the Derwent was removed and rebuilt at the head of the Howden reservoir. The clock tower of the church had been left standing and the upper part of it was visible above the water level until 1947, when it was seen as a hazard and demolished with explosives on 15 December. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladybower_Reservoir
