  South Pennine Landscapes. Images from Scammonden reservoir and surrounding area taken with the Canon Ixus 400 digicam
The name Scammonden is possibly derived from the Norse Skambani's Dale and the small church nestled half way up the hillside at Dean Head is called St. Bartholomew which also has a small hamlet associated with it, it was constructed in 1863 replacing an earlier building built in the 17th century.
Scammonden is now part of a much larger network and many old leaking distribution pipes have been replaced so the possibilities of it nearly drying up again in summer is most unlikely.

There aren't many motorways around the country - even around the world - that don't, at some point, dip through a cutting, cross low ground on an embankment or pass under a flyover carrying a smaller road.
At Scammonden, it crosses an embankment, then passes through a cutting with a flyover that carries a B-road.
Of course, Scammonden is a little different - the embankment is the top of a dam holding back a mile-long reservoir, and the cutting is some 40 metres (120ft) deep.
