[quote=katex;883917]This is one of my favourite photos, Dam ... taken at Hillock Vale, can see the rise of the banking of the reservoir.

Katex, I don't remember those buildings in the 40's/50's.Long gone?
I was astonished to read Dam say the reservoir has gone and there are houses there! Did they fill it in or take all the banking away? When did that happen and I wonder why, it was Accringtons main water supply.Was it unsafe?
