A long-forgotten village disappeared after it was flooded to supply water to Manchester. <\/p>\n

However, Mardale Green still occasionally reappears when the conditions are warm and water levels drop. The locals compare the watery grave to the lost city of Atlantis.<\/p>\n

The village – along with the neighbouring settlement of Measand – was drowned in order to make the largest reservoir in the UK, now known as the Haweswater Reservoir. It was done with the intention of supplying Manchester with drinking water for a hundred years, supplemented by water from Thirlmere reservoir, reports the Manchester Evening News.<\/p>\n

In preparation, hundreds of people were forced to leave their homes, and 97 bodies were removed and re-buried in a graveyard in the nearby village of Shap. The farms and houses of Mardale and Measand, and the well-loved Dun Bull Inn, were demolished.<\/p>\n

The Dun Bull Inn, apparently famous for its hot buttered rum, was a great loss to the wider community. It was popular for miles around with farming families and hunting folk who gathered there for fairs, feasts, dances and sales throughout the year.<\/p>\n

The tiny Mardale Church, with seating for 50 or less, held its last service in August 1935. At the service, the Bishop of Carlisle spoke to 72 people inside, while outside hundreds stood in the fields and listened as the service was relayed over loudspeakers.<\/p>\n

Renowned fell-walker Alfred Wainwright is said to have protested bitterly about the loss of Mardale, having first visited the village in 1930. In his last book, Wainwright in the Valleys of Lakeland (1996), he wrote pointedly of the "rape of Mardale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite being demolished and submerged by the reservoir in the 1930s, when a prolonged period of hot weather occurs the water level can sink to such an extent that it's possible to walk among its ghostly village remains. The last time the village showed itself was in July 2022.<\/p>\n
