Sad times for Mardale Green, Haweswater
Plaque for the Haweswater Reservoir in the Lake District National Park, 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. It is said that not a penny was paid in compensation to the folks who lost their homes and livelihoods.
