The Ladybower Reservoir is one of three reservoirs in the Upper Derwent Valley in Derbyshire, England. The River Derwent initially flows through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir, and finally through Ladybower Reservoir.


Water is treated at Bamford water treatment works by Severn Trent Water. Treated water flows down the Derwent Valley Aqueduct to supply clean water to towns and cities in the East Midlands of England.


The dams were used during World War II for practice by 617 Squadron prior to the Dambusters raid on German dams. Occasional flypasts of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight are staged to comemmorate this.

Ladybower and its connecting reservoirs are beautiful, serene stretches of water in the glorious Derbyshire countryside; the whole area is a haven for walkers and cyclists, and I have visited it many times and absorbed its beauty.
Somehow, and I can’t remember the exact process because such things are intuitive to a writer, I transferred that image to that of the perfect reflection of totally identical twins, and the loss of a way of life to the loss of life itself.
