Topic: Rhodeswood Reservoir

	Peak District National Park: Study Area
		Five reservoirs in the valley contain the waters of the River Etherow - a tributary of the Mersey.
		When the whole reservoir supply scheme was finally completed in 1884, it was a great achievement as the reservoirs were the longest chain in the world at that time.
		Construction of the reservoirs limited farming as the good quality lowland farms disappeared under the water and all land use in the water catchment area had to be restricted, for fear of polluting the reservoirs.

	Longdendale
		The River Etherow, a tributary of the River Mersey, rises south of Holmfirth and then flows through a chain of six reservoirs known as the Longdendale Chain: Arnside Reservoir[?], Bottoms Reservoir[?], Valehouse Reservoir[?], Rhodeswood Reservoir[?], Torside Reservoir[?], Woodhead Reservoir[?].
		There was a seventh reservoir at Hollingworth[?], but it was abandoned later.
		The first railway line between Manchester and Sheffield was constructed between 1839 and 1845 on the south side of the reservoir chain by 1,500 navvies of whom many died and most suffered illness.

	The River Etherow - with the Goyt, this forms the River Mersey
		Once heavily wooded, even into the last century, Longendale is now a fine open valley with a series of reservoirs constructed by the Manchester and Salford Waterworks Company between 1848 and 1877.
		Rhodeswood reservoir was the next to be built and in 1865 two smaller reservoirs, Valehouse and Bottoms, were begun downstream close to Tintwhistle, where the river leaves the valley to begin its journey through the Manchester conurbation.
		Valehouse flooded a cotton mill and small village and the upper valley was deliberately depopulated at this time to ensure that the water supply was not contaminated.

	Dark Peak fieldwork - Water Quality
		Reservoirs were built throughout the Peaks from the 1850's
		The series of 6 reservoirs along the River Etherow, through Longdendale are one of North West Water's (now United Utilities) largest water sources.
		The reservoirs provide an average of 102 Million litres of drinking water for the people of Manchester and Stockport.

	Longdendale trail in Derbyshire and the Peak District region of England - walking and cycling route on old railway track (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Longdendale Trail is situated in the Upper Longdendale Valley, within the Peak District National Park - south of the A628 and north of the town of Glossop.
		The reservoirs were completed in 1877 and were the largest artificial expanses of water in the world at that time.
		The Longdendale Trail is a long-distance trail that runs a distance of approximately 6.5 miles (10.4km) from Hadfield, Derbyshire to Woodhead Tunnel before crossing the A628 and climbing a steep moorland track towards the Yorkshire border at Salter's Brook.

	Lad's Leap
		Where the trail meets the B6105 again, cross the road but do not carry on down the trail, take the metalled track on the far side of the trail.
		This takes you down to and across the dam between Torside and Rhodeswood reservoirs.
		On the far side of the reservoir, follow the road until the sharp right hand bend, and at this point take the lower of the two gates on your left.

	Blue Plaque - John Frederick La Trobe Bateman
		Two smaller reservoirs were built, these were Hollingworth (now demolished) and Arnfield, again designed to be used in conjunction with the main chain.
		This chain of reservoirs is still in use today and is six miles long, with a boast that its waters have never run dry.
		At the time, these reservoirs were the largest to be constructed in the World and became Europe's first major Water Conservation Scheme.

	Dark Peak fieldwork - Torside
		Made from a DEM and is colour coded from blue for the lowest elevations, through grey, brown red orange and yellow - to green for the highest terrain.
		It is more or less correct for Torside Reservoir, but too low for Woodhead Reservoir (approx.
		This is why Woodhead Reservoir is not shown as blue and why Rhodeswood's representation is too large.

	Pennine Way - The Dark Peak
		We spent the night at a BandB beside Rhodeswood Reservoir, the next one to the west, happy that the first day had been such a good one.
		We rejoined the PW, crossing the dam between the two reservoirs, and soon were walking north, with Crowden Great Brook down to our right.
		By then the cloud had come down again, and we couldn't see the various other reservoirs that we knew we were passing.

		Along the banks of the reservoirs are a series of houses built by the Manchester Water Board to house the reservoir keepers.
		This is the overflow weir for Rhodeswood reservoir.
		This isn't the first such station in the valley - in 1904 one was built at Bottoms reservoir to supply electricity for the small-gauge railway that ran along the north side of the reservoir chain, although this was abandoned in 1938, and the railway was dismantled in 1968.

		There's a gateway across the road and to the left, where a paved road leads down to the dam between Valehouse and Rhodeswood Reservoirs.
		This is where we saw evidence of the narrow gauge railway that once ran along the north side of the reservoirs.
		It evenually joined the old track bed of the reservoir railway, crossed Crowden Brook and then curved northwards to meet the A628.

	Pennine Way Diary 1994 Part 10
		In order to add as much variety as possible in an area where I have done a lot of walking, I took the old route of the Pennine Way from Crowden to the end of Torside Reservoir.
		This goes part way up the hillside instead of by the side of the reservoir and gave a better view of Longdendale.
		The steep ascent up by Torside Clough was hot work, but improved higher up as there was more of a breeze.
