The Toddbrook Reservoir Incident

 It's nearly two and a half years now since we had our own lockdown in FurnessVale and Whaley Bridge.  For a week, we were under movement restrictions until the reservoir was secured. The emergency had been declared on 1st August 2019.

Here are a few images showing  the police presence in the centre of the village. Emergency vehicles included Mountain Rescue.

The A6 through Furness Vale has never been so deserted.

Meanwhile, in Whaley Bridge:
