The image is entitled 'The Valley of the Derwent Reservoir'.
The photograph is believed to have been taken from the slopes of Ouzelden Clough and the towers visible in the distance are thoses of the Howden Dam, beyond which is the Howden Reservoir. Birchenlee village, also known as 'Tin Town', was created for the construction workers and their families on the west side of the valley.
The image is thought to have been created sometime before the Derwent Reservoir was filled in November 1914, as the river is still visible in the foreground, but after the completion of the Howden Reservoir in 1912. It is not known when the image was photographed by London Midland and Scottish Railway, but it is likely between 1914 and 1930.
