Doomed Village Awaits Its Fate
By J. W. Taylor.
MOR 11 years now the 80 men, women and children of the beautiful Chow Stoke village in the Chow Valley, near Bristol, have known that their homes were doomed to destruction-to be swallowed up by the new reservoir, to be built there.

One day, after due warning, they will move out of the village with their belongings, and workmen will move In to strip the area, wholly or partly demolishing their houses and felling their trees. Then a man will pull a lover and 4,600,000,000 gallons of water will pour along the valley for over two miles and rise into a hugo lake, ongulfing the farmhouses, the cottages, the orchards and gardens and the narrow lanes.
