The Lost Village that built the Derwent Dams - Birchinlee Tin Town

Birchinlee is the site of "Tin Town", a village built by the Derwent Valley Water Board for the workers (and their families) who constructed the Derwent and Howden Dams between 1902 and 1916.

In this video i take a walk in search of any remains of Birchinlee Tin Town as well as reminders of what was once the Bamford and Howden Railway that was constructed for the dams between 1903 and 1906.
