Id like to see some n' all! Ill email British Waterways tomorrow and see if they have any pictures they would like to send us! Bit of a long shot that they have any, let alone if they can even be arsed to dig them out and send them but hey, you never know!

dude ive been down that road and its another dead end.they were actually co operative believe it or not!!!! they put me in contact with the archive department but they told me to try www.virtualwaterways.co.uk to see if there were any files of the reservoir and if so get back in touch no good tho.thought of putting an advert in the advertiser.

Yeah I did email them this morning and all I got back was an automated reply saying that a human being will be in touch within the next 5 days lol. Yeah definately worth putting an ad in the paper or speaking to locals who frequent the canal and res, even local birdwatching forums perhaps. One of my regrets has always been not being around when it was drained, Id love to have seen it and took a few pics.

Im sure one of the members had a set of pics when it was down, maybe even russ or ollie?

Rare as rocking horse sh!t boys, I know there's rumored to be a few sets knocking round, but no one is in a rush to share them!!

Good owd marker work boys... you'll get there!

Right..... Had an email back from BW which passed on to me another email address of a BW employee. And I was told in no uncertain terms that he HAS got photographs of Tardebigge reservoir when it was drained for repaires in 2000. Sooo I have emailed him, I have asked the question. Just fingers crossed that he gets back me and if so, that the photographs are of any use at all.

oh my days toss me off now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thgink the person who i spoke to sent me on a wild goose chase.good work mike

stokie do you have a marker rod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice work detective mike!! Get em up ere if you get them, LOL.

Luca my marker rod doubles as a very stiff stalking rod, but it does the job.

Why would the stooookie need a marker rod when he never fishes under the surface???????

Ha Ha Ha Ha! thats pissed me that has Mr Jones!

Mr Jones, I hope your nor implying I'm just a 1 trick pony!!

I know someone who's definitely got a set. He's just very loathed to share them. May drop him a text.

If I get a set, I'll make copies for every member...........who buys me a crate of lager and an Anarkali !!!

Ya I know the very man!

me too but if you do the ground work as it were ill get yer 20 tabs aswell ;-)

well ill have a play at that game aswell fella the pictures would be very nice

That guy at British Waterways got back to me. he said hes away til tuesday and when he gets back into the office he'll dig em out and forward them to me. He was doing work on the valve at the time so hopefully there will be some nice shots off the dam wall! Fingers crossed!

this is awesome news lads.think we should get a social on to hopefuly celebrate.anarkali beers and baby wipes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh and as for leads im keen as mustard.

Get in! As good a result as the villa matey

Was sent a pdq file of a technical drawing of the res lakebed contours. It highlights any variation in depth etc. The problem is I cant upload it. I have registered with photobucket but it wont accept it to upload.
Any suggestions?
