Description :
The discourses surrounding the design and construction of reservoirs at Ladybower (1935-45, now Peak District National Park), and Rutland Water (1968-76), give insights into the role of landscape aesthetics and symbolism in the complex negotiations of local and national identity at different moments in the course of twentieth-century modernism in Britain.
