Mardale Head, Haweswater
Mardale Head, Haweswater Reservoir in the Lake District, Cumbria.
In 1919, the people of Mardale Green learnt that Manchester Water Corporation had just secured the long awaited Haweswater Act, a compulsory purchase agreement of the day, which granted them permission to build a dam and drown the hamlet. In dry weather, when the water level of the reservoir is very low, the remains of walls from the abandoned hamlet can be seen.
