307. The reservoir that nearly destroyed a town (an update)
In July 2019, Toddbrook reservoir - in High Peak, Derbyshire - nearly breached which would have flooded the town of Whaley Bridge. Today, repairs and reconstruction are well underway so I went along to have a look. #AD Visit ABC Leisure at http://www.abclg.com or call 0330 333 0590 for everything to do with canal boats.
