THE RIVER DERWENT IN FLOOD
Monday, 21 February 2022
Not directly related to the Study Centre — fortunately — this page is simply to host some photographs taken in and around the Silk Mill at lunchtime on Monday 21st Februay 2022. This was approximately four hours before the River Derwent peaked as it carried the floodwaters of Storm Franklin away from the Peak District.
The images are presented in no particular order and can be viewed slightly larger by opening them in a new tab/window or downloading them.
