On Edale Road in Hope, the hairdresser's shop is the last remaining tin hut from the temporary village of Birchinlee that existed in the Upper Derwent Valley from 1902 to 1916. It accommodated men - some with families- who worked on a massive reservoir project that resulted in the creation of Ladybower, Howden and Upper Derwent Reservoirs.
