The old village is located under the bridge (according to a local lady, the old chemist’s is directly below the seventh pillar of the bridge, probably counting from the left bank). It was flooded in order to build a dam. The mountain on the left is Peak Gilbo." [NB: the church seen here in the centre of the image, by the right end of the bridge, is Santa Agueda]
