1901 | Hays Farm, Kirk Ireton, Derbyshire Dales, Derbyshire, EnglandA pair of neighbouring farms just West of Kirk Ireton, which can be traced back to a least 1841. Around 1979, the Scow Brook was dammed to produce the present Carsington water reservoir, which eventually covered the farm and buildings. These were the only two farms flooded by the waters. The farms were knocked down, and some of the stone used to build a couple of shelters for those walking and bird watching on the banks of the reservoir. |
