Former inhabitants remember the submerged English village of Greenbooth located in Greater Manchester. Locals were evacuated as the historic village was part of the area flooded to build a reservoir, but memories remain with children who are now adults.
It was sixty years back when the village sank underwater, but many still have vivid memories of the place. One of them is Terry Tomlinson, 87, who, like many others, has shared what they remember of their lost village.
Goodbye Greenbooth
In the 1960s, there were four reservoirs created in the Naden Valley. One of them was Norden in Greenbooth, where Tomlinson lived his youth, reported the Mirror UK.
