These are the impressive wrought iron entrance gates to the Ladybower Dam, above Bamford in the Upper Derwent Valley. The reservoir was opened in September, 1945 by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, who unveiled a memorial tablet and opened the two overflow shafts, one of which is seen to the right of this photograph.
