Here's one near me, Clark's Hill Reservoir.

Know it well. Didn't know you Teasdale lot were stealing our water though :-) Cow Green run dry has it? <Snip>
South Tyne Dale not Teesdale. B-)
It was very low earlier in the year, 7+ meters below full. Actually off the bottom of the 1/2 metre interval painted markings on the wet side of the dam.
Those ones are pay per view, are they?
:-)
Of course :-(
When was the feed from Burnhope installed? Does it go round under or above Killhope?
A few years back and over Killhope, then over Fidddlers (Flinty Fell on maps) and along the B6277 below the old adit source and onto the storage reservior at the top of Alston. Places like us are T'd off enroute. AIUI the pipe acts as a rather long syphon. How they started it I don't know but any high spot has an air vent valve with service valves either side.
Scottish Water says
a service reservoir, known as Brockloch. Service reservoirs, also called distribution reservoirs, are the storage reservoirs, which store the treated water for supplying water during emergencies (such as during fires, repairs, etc.) and also to help in absorbing the hourly fluctuations in the normal water demand.
So if it is something more secret, Scottish Water is in on the secret :-)

Thanks. It what I had already surmised but nice to have it confirmed.

It's got a roof for a start
In your example I don't see a 3m+ fence nor any CCTV , oh and the gate's been left open!
the "wall" made of bricks with fence on top you mean?
required to see the cctv...
Could that be another reason they took the van away?....
940nm ;-)
Best for usable pics ;-)
