Derelict Barn

Weiwerd, The Netherlands

Weiwerd was mostly demolished to make way for industry. This is one of a handful of surviving buidings. The industry never arrived. Now the authorities want to develop the site asa business park for knowledge based companies, retaining the old village layout.

Dutch gravestones, Valganweg, Termunterzijl, The Netherlands

These headstones, in the style typical of the period (late 1800's), were moved to a higher location on the dyke, above their original sites, after the church in the village of Oterdum was demolished to allow the dyke to be widened and raised.

The rest of the village, which was over 1,000 years old, was demolished to make way for industrial expansion (much of which never came). The last residents left in 1975.

Does anyone know how the raised lettering on these grave/head stones was made? According to wikipedia sand blasting had been invented in 1870 in the USA and equipment for it only became available some years later. Is that generally accepted history wrong, or did the 18th century Dutch stonemasons have an equivalent technique?

normanton church

What is seen here, above the waterline, is only the top part of the church. Read below of the planned demolition of the church, the public pressure for its survival and the improbable solution.

The church was built in classical style for the Normanton Hall estate on the site of a 14th-century building. Except for the tower, the medieval church was rebuilt in 1764 by Sir Gilbert Heathcote, 3rd Baronet.

The church was de-consecrated in 1970, and was to have been demolished as part of the reservoir construction, as its floor was below the proposed water level. Following a public outcry, the lower half was filled with stone and rubble, and a concrete cap constructed just below the level of the windows. An embankment was built around the church leaving it a prominent feature on the water's edge.

Nether Hambleton – also called ‘the lost village’ – is now under the water, a small community of houses and farms abandoned forever and frozen in time.
