EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the breathtaking scene of Thruscross Reservoir in Washburn Valley, near Harrogate, Yorkshire, England during the construction of its dam in the 1960s. Completed in 1966, the dam was built to increase the water supply for the local community and surrounding areas. The serene and picturesque valley, dotted with lush greenery and quaint houses, provides a striking contrast to the industrial activity taking place in the foreground. The dam, still under construction, stands proudly against the backdrop of the rolling hills, its concrete walls reaching towards the sky. The reflection of the dam and the surrounding landscape on the tranquil water adds an extra layer of beauty to the scene. This photograph transports us back in time to the 1960s, a decade marked by progress and innovation, as we witness the transformation of the landscape and the creation of a vital community resource. The peaceful coexistence of nature and human ingenuity in this image is a testament to the enduring connection between the two.
