Built in 1884 to provide water storage for the Leyland area the reservoir was decommissioned
in 1992. It provided locals with water for 108 years and in it's heyday it stored up to 300,000 Gallons
of water.
English heritage twice turned down applications to have it listed stating it was "Neither a rare nor
an exceptional example of it's type"
It was previously owned by united utilities until March 2013. It will shortly be demolished to make way for 14
new homes.
With eleventy billion people milling round the place it was impossible to get many shots without several people in
shot, but here's the images I managed to grab.
