Exploring the ruins of Derwent Village. The village was demolished in the early 1940s to make way for Ladybower Reservoir (opened 25th September 1945), the ruins of which have remained submerged ever since. Sometimes the water level falls sufficiently that some of the ruins can be seen, November 2015 was one such occasion.
Having studied the old maps and photos I believe this to be part of the ruins of Mill Cottage that stood to the east of the Post Office (the ruins of which are on the bank in the background of this picture) and by a little bridge over Millbrook, but please comment if you think I'm wrong! Vic Hallam describes Mill Cottage in his excellent book The Silent Valley as "a delightful house from which Mrs H. Thorpe served many a rambler with tea." Poor Mrs Thorpe didn't have much luck with homes in the Derwent Valley - her first home, Ronksley Farm, was submerged under Howden Reservoir while her second home, Hancock's Farm, was submerged by Derwent Reservoir. Maybe fortunately fer her she had already passed away by the time Mill Cottage was demolished to make way for Ladybower Reservoir...

The Old Bucharest that was demolished in last decades must be reconstructed, as the cities destroyed in WW2 were reconstructed in Germany or Poland. Is enough one building or complex of buildings (like the Văcărești Monastery, e.g.) to be reconstructed to make people understand this is possible (it seems now is a sort of psychological incapacity to believe this).
Also, new legislation must be issued with the regard of new buildings and development in urban and rural areas as well as outside the administrative limits of localities.
In rural areas, must be forbidden to build in any manner the owner wants, only houses in the local vernacular style must be permitted (as similar laws exist in some countries) and as most of the venacular architecture have vanished, measures must be taken to encourage people to demolish their houses and rebuilt them in the style that existed at the beginning of 20th century (as is seen in the models in village museums).
In the urban space, laws must also restrict the style of the buildings to preserve a continuity with the local historical styles.
In the land that was never built, especially outside the administrative territory of cities, towns and villages but also inside their limits, the construction of new buildings must be highly restricted or forbidden, to preserve as much unbuilt space as possible, for the following reasons:
1. The reduction of natural, unbuilt spaces brings a reduction of quality of air, soil, waters, vegetation.
2. In natural spaces or in lands used for agriculture, the insertion of buildings affects the landscape. Severe laws for preserving the landscape must be issued, protecting not only the biologically / geologically etc valuable environments but even the man-modified environment like crops and so on.
3. The new building developments requires exploitation of rocks and other materials from quarries that lead to the destruction of the natural landscapes and local ecosystems. Laws must also force the developers to use reused materials from demolished buildings instead of newly extracted materials.

Located along Queen City Avenue in Cincinnati's South Fairmount neighborhood, these buildings are among the last bits of what was once a vibrant community. The two mixed-use buildings are solid examples of mixed-use architecture, similar to what is found in Over-the-Rhine, but with a space between them that could eventually become a neat outdoor space. These buildings are some of the remaining historic urban fabric along Queen City Avenue in the South Fairmount neighborhood of Cincinnati, following the mass-demolition of urban fabric for the Lick Run Project on the opposite side of the street. Dating to the late 19th Century and early 20th Century, the buildings include many mixed-use structures with ornate cornices and cast iron storefront pilasters, a common element in many of the city’s mixed-use buildings. There also is quite a bit of variation in the styles and details, with the Italianate, Second Empire, Queen Anne, and Renaissance Revival styles. These buildings are the nucleus around which a neighborhood revitalization would occur, as they would be ideal for small businesses, residences, offices, and apartments like those seen in similar buildings in Over-the-Rhine, which has gone through a massive transformation. Hopefully, these buildings will hold out until the time in which they can once again be brought to life and be a part of a vibrant community.
