I wouldn't stay - but do have precious 'photos to hand anyway. Ready in a large shopping bag to grab.
We had warm sunshine until mid afternoon when the heavens opened - I was asleep and could feel it raining onto my head

Beautiful morning here too and the dam's still there so it's all good. Roads still shut though.

As well as it being fine which will be helpful to the chinooks dropping sand bags to shore up the dam walls. I am holding my breath!
Intermittent sunshine across the Midlands.

Trying to find out how old Whalley Bridge actually is:
In 1794 the building of the Peak Forest Canal received Parliamentary approval and Whaley Bridge became one of the two termini. The canal was built principally for the lime trade, and for the carriage of coal from Whaley Bridge to Bugsworth for the burning of lime. For geological reasons it was difficult to build a canal linking the Peak Forest Canal with the Cromford Canal, so railway, originally horsedrawn in 1831 but later using steam locomotives did this. The building of this railway again altered the shape of Whaley Bridge as a new bridge was built to carry the railway into the canal basin.
In 1857 the main line steam railway from Stockport came to Whaley Bridge. For six years this was the terminus and passengers to Chapel or Buxton had to transfer to coaches, but in 1863 the railway to these towns was completed. Up to 1894 the junction of the rail and road at the bottom of Whaley Lane was a level crossing. This was removed in 1894 when a new road was made by taking down some old cottages at the bottom end of Reservoir Road and excavating the ground behind. This connected Whaley Lane with Reservoir Road without the need for any bridge alterations.
The Toddbrook Reservoir was built in 1831 as a feeder to the waterways. Stockport Corporation built Fernilee Reservoir in 1933 covering the old gunpowder mills and several farms.
So the White Hart seems to be older than the Res. in question. It has been evacuated as initially it was a Ford outside the property, now it's a road and river which will take the brunt should the dam let go. Who would build a dam there

Thanks for the info
Not sure where else could they could put it. The canal starts in the old centre of WB and the res obviously has to be higher up, and they need a suitable valley to flood with a river already feeding it. Normally a good setup as it overflows from the canal into the Goyt where it would have gone if not diverted to the canal. It's done nearly 200 years without problems. Not totally sure about construction but they used to use clay. This has a concrete skim on it so not original and it doesn't look like clay underneath.
Many reservoirs have the same problem, can't think of any that wouldn't cause major problems if the wall went. Remember the dam busters? (actually I'm not quite that old but I've seen the film...)

Mainly cloudy with some nasty grey clouds but it stayed dry, odd sunny spell thrown in, cool in the breeze.
