about

Volume One in an occasional series: Landscape and Memory.

Mardale was submerged in the late 1930’s when the water level of the valley’s lake was raised to make Haweswater Reservoir by Manchester Corporation.

The entire community gave up it’s lands an livelihoods. Most of the village's buildings were blown up by the Royal Engineers, who used them for demolition practice.

The exception was the small church, which could accommodate only 75 people, and had an all-ticket congregation for its last service. It was then dismantled in April 1937, stone by stone, and the stones and windows were re-used to build the water take-off tower which is situated along the Western shore of the reservoir.

On several occasions over the years, during a hot summer when the water level drops, you can see the remains of the lost village.
