After the Industrial Revolution engineers were looking for a way to collect 15 million gallons of water to bring industry and the population the water it needed daily. In 1890 Queen Victoria gave her permission for the scheme Manchester consulting engineers to build the dam that would create Thirlmere Reservoir.

Great engineering!!! However I've always found Thirlmere to be quite a spooky and eerie place...

This was amazing. Video deserves way more views. Thanks for all the effort, such high production value!

That's a very very beautiful construction. The ingenuity and engineering is breathtaking. Those Victorians skimped on nothing when building and the fact that this has lasted well over a century is testament to that. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for posting. 👍

What a great video, I've always been fascinated with Thirlmere and Haweswater reservoir. Thank you 👍

If you have Google earth, you can find an add on, which shows the whole route and every feature en route, from gates and valves in the middle of fields to syphons and pipe bridges. It shows how the route splits at Little Hulton North west of Manchester, one route heading south and east to Audenshaw reservoir and the other to Heaton Park reservoir.

I love it how United Utilities are putting their brand on something they never built

please tell me why the wettest place in England would need it. Manchester, water water everywhere..

Because Manchester has nowhere to catch the water and store it in large enough quantities for it to be treated and used for human consumption, and the Lake District - 60 odd miles away - has..... Plus there is also the fact that the population of Manchester has increased over the last 100 years, and as that has happened, more water has been required. It has to come from somewhere.
