More about this scene
In September 1909 the 7623yds long Rivelin Tunnel was completed at a cost of £150,000. It took five years to build with workmen tunnelling from both ends; it carried water from the Derwent Valley to the reservoir at Rivelin.

Sparked a Memory for you?

My maiden name was Paula Furniss training at Clarke House if any one remembers that long ago !

I was a cadet Nurse here aged 16yrs and a pupil nurse when I was 18yrs. Very happy memories
