Scar House Reservoir, Stonebeck Up, North Yorkshire
This reservoir on the River Nidd was built to supply water to Bradford, some 65km away. It was begun on 13th July 1904 and completed seven years later. A workers' village was constructed by the side of the reservoir for the labourers employed on the project. Several archaeological features were lost beneath the 33.5m of water.
