Matlock UDC Spring Sources
Pre 1961 Spring Sources of Matlock UDC
The springs at Fallinge (Rowsley), Blackbrook and Sydnope, Whitesprings, Stanton Lees, Tinkersley and Wensley were the water sources of Darley Dale Water Works later Darley North and Darley Dalet South UDCs
.
Says Russ Boyack: The two councils (of of North Darley Dale UDC and South Darley UDC ) were amalgamated in to Matlock UDC in the 1930's. Interesting enough although two separate Councils they had a common water works. They were all spring supplies. I know of two of spring supplies that were interrupted by the laying of the 2nd DV aqueduct. Copy Wood and Northwood spring (not located). Interesting enough both these springs supplies were commissioned by the Railway to supply Rowsley sidings (now Peak Village)and station. This is what I was told by the old Watermen when I started work. Two of them worked on the construction of the 2nd DV pipeline.
