Old rider Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Where the Ladybower Reservoir overflows and starts the river Derwent the water goes over a section of river bed made up of stainless steel tiles. I was told this was a measuring system to ensure that the correct amount of water leaves the reservoir to conform with the amount that must pass to allow the river Derwent to start. If you want to see them turn down off the main road at the end of the reservoir workers houses. At the bottom where this road turns left go along the track to the right and the stainless steel river bed is over the small stone wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
