Taken during Wetlands Workshop: Looking to the Past
Taken at the Walthamstow Wetlands
Walthamstow Wetlands is a fully operational 211 hectare Thames Water reservoir site which is the main source of water supply for 3.5 million people...In October 2017, Walthamstow Wetlands opened to the wider public for the first time in 150 years...
In 1852, the East London Waterworks Company (ELWC) was granted permission to develop land at Walthamstow for reservoirs and by 1863, the first stage of the reservoirs development was completed with the construction of Reservoir Nos. 1, 2 and 3. Collectively they occupied just under 18 hectares of land and were all laboriously hand-dug by teams of ‘navvies’. In 1866, a drought in London and serious problems with water quality resulting in a cholera epidemic, drove the second phase of construction - Reservoir Nos. 4 and 5 were now added. With London’s fast growing populating, the High and Low Maynard Reservoirs were completed in 1870 for additional water storage whilst in 1887, a Davy compound engine (a new and powerful type of steam engine used widely for pumping at waterworks and mines during the late Victorian era) was installed at the Coppermill for use in the fast-expanding reservoirs system.
In 1894, the Engine House was built and remained in service until the 1980s - known initially as Ferry Lane Pumping Station, and later, the Marine Engine House, it was designed by ELWC’s architect H. Tooley under the watchful eye of Chief Engineer W. B. Bryan. Underneath the building was a network of underground reservoirs, chambers and pipes that linked the reservoirs and reached as far as Stoke Newington. In 1895, the East and West Warwick Reservoirs were completed and named after the Countess of Warwick, heiress of the local Maynard family, who sold the land to ELWC.
In 1897, Lockwood was the last reservoir to be created and also the largest – covering 30 hectares and excavated to a depth of around 8 metres. Named after one of the ELWC’s directors, it was a major engineering feat for its day - requiring a huge labour force of 1,250 men. Unlike the first reservoirs, which were dug mainly by hand, Lockwood was constructed with plenty of steam-powered pumps, engines and cranes - as well as a team of 50 horses!
In 1904, the Metropolitan Water Board became the new owner of Walthamstow Reservoirs following a series of mergers and nationalisation. In 1940, Walthamstow was hit by the first of many German bombs during the Blitz in World War II and several of the reservoirs were damaged whilst Lockwood’s water level was lowered to limit potential flooding during the war years. In 1951, the Ferry Boat Inn and Coppermill were designated Grade II Listed Buildings for their architectural features and unique place in local history.
In 1973, the Thames Water Authority became site manager following the creation of new regional water authorities, public bodies responsible for water supply, navigation, land drainage, sewage treatment and fisheries. A few years later in 1975, Walthamstow Reservoirs’ important status for London’s wildlife was officially recognised for the first time with its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. In the 1980s, the Marine Engine House was decommissioned and as a result, was used mainly as a storage space until it was redeveloped as part of the new Walthamstow Wetlands over 30 years later.
In 1989, the water supply and sewage treatment aspects of the Thames Water Authority were privatised, leading to the company of today and in 2000, the site was designated part of the Lea Valley Special Protection Area for wildlife - also gaining international ‘Ramsar’ status as a major part of the valley’s internationally important wetland habitat.

Along the edge of the Black River in Lorain, OH. As the sun begins to set, the freighter "H. Lee White" unloads at the Republic Steel docks.
It is the kind of thing we get when we turn reviews, such as Male Edge reviews to find the best opinion on the right products to harness our cause. Obviously, the worst and lethal products to test are orgasm enlargers and any effect not wanted that is brought by some low quality or fake enlargers are definitely not something a person would really want to try out.
There will probably a lot of these show up around here, sunset is my favorite part of the day. Unless there's an airshow that is....

Como o nome sugere o sofá Edge do inglês: borda, beira, orla, aba teve seu conceito desenhado pela borda. Além de ser o grande diferencial desse conjunto de quatro estofados, a borda valoriza o conforto da peça e seu design jovial, leve e descontraído. O elemento ainda faz as vezes de moldura do sofá, conferindo a ele um status de obra de arte.

I had originally planned to go to Bamford Edge on SUnday morning for sunrise. Howerver, snow the day before meant that I wouldn't have stood a change of getting my puny Ford Focus up the steep road from Bamford. I set of for Froggatt Edge but early morning conditions on the A57 were so bad, that I decided to stop at the nearest place and parked at Cutthroat Bridge, to visit Hordron Edge.
A normally quite easy walk, with only a short uphill scramble was hampered by about six inches of snow on the path. Conditions on the top of the edge, were the snow was often knee deep made the rest of the walk a real slog.
However, once I reached the area I wanted to be, I was treated to a wonderful sunrise.
This set of images document the changing nature of the light over the course of about an hour.
The first pink light of dawn edges slowly down the hillside as the sun casts the shadow of Stanage Edge onto the slopes of Derwent Edge opposite. The view is towards Derwent Valley and Ladybower Reservoir, with the distinctive peak of Win Hill taking the first rays of sunlight.

Great Tor – 1,395ft above sea level.
Some walkers I met and chatted with whilst walking the Edge.
The views from Bamford Edge are sensational!
From Great Tor the view north stretches over Ladybower Reservoir and up towards the other Derwent Dams, north-west to Kinder Scout, west to Win Hill and the Great Ridge and Mam Tor, east to provide by far the best views of Stanage Edge, and south east down the Derwent Valley towards Chatsworth.
At 429m above sea level, Bamford Edge is more than 200m short of the highest parts of the Peak District (this honour goes to Crowden Head on Kinder Scout at 631m) but is so strategically positioned that the views are far reaching and relatively uninterrupted.
On a clear day it is simply fantastic!
