Work has commenced to demolish MMAL's iconic vehicle painting plant to make way for an underground road tunnel for South Road (A2).
Other notable building affected by the tunnel include the Tonsley Hotel where Mitsubishi workers went for drinks, Jarvis Toyota and many other businesses.
This photo shows the former western wing of the plant housing the Unloading Lane.
Exploring the ruins of Derwent village and Derwent Hall which are normally deep under Ladybower Reservoir. The village (including church, post office and cottages) and Hall were demolished in the early 1940s so that the valley could be flooded for the Reservoir (opened 1945). 2018 saw an exceptional drought and the village ruins became visible once again and it was possible to explore Derwent Hall for the first time since 1996 (and previous to that only in 1959, 1976, 1989). These photos were taken in early November when Ladybower was at its lowest, after that the water-level started to rise and Derwent village was hidden once more…. Saturday 10th November 2018.
Derwent Hall was originally built of local Derbyshire stone in 1672 for Henry Balguy. Rebuilt in 1692, it was an impressive 2-storey, gabled house built on an H-shaped plan. The house became a farmhouse from 1767 until around 1817 when it was bought by John Read before passing (by inheritance) to the powerful Newdigates of Kirk Hallam and then to the Dukes of Norfolk. It became a youth hostel, opened by the Prince of Wales, in 1931. It was compulsorily purchased in 1939 and then used as a school from September 1940 until August 1941. Finally, it was demolished in 1944 by Charles Boot before completion of the Ladybower reservoir in 1945. The site is usually submerged but in periods of drought the streets of the nearby 'lost' village of Derwent and the outlines of the houses sometimes appear again. Only during times of severe drought do the ruins of Derwent Hall become visible again, namely in 1959, 1976, 1989 and 1996. And now again in 2018!
In 1989 the lintel stone from above the main door, dated 1692, was discovered among the rubble of Dewent Hall and is now located in the garden of the nearby Derwent Village Hall (which survived the building of the reservoir.)
