Arched pier

Taken at Norman Hill reservoir. This shows a view to the access pier for the freshwater flows. The piers are a frivolous piece of Victorian architecture so common once upon a time. Made to last and last it did! I enjoyed the light here.
Enjoy full screen

Have a good weekend.

This sort of Victorian structures were certainly built to last Herb! An interesting view of this one!

2 years ago.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Cheers Keith. Agreed, will we ever see such workmanship in our common structures again? -I very much doubt it, whilst money is always the primary concern.

When posting this photo taken only a few weeks back, I was certain that I had posted another from the other side once but could I find it? - Well I did today:

Cheers. Herb

David G Johnson ^club

All ingeniously planned engineering Herb,.. I find these dams systems fascinating,. there are supply tunnels and top up overflows everywhere,.. // From Ladybower dam there is a 4.5 mile hand dug tunnel to the Rivelin dams,.. dead straight and gently sloping - brilliant,.. anyway enough about all that !,, keep well - have a good weekend and a ''HFF'' to you from > Dj.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to David G Johnson ^club

Aye, agreed these are fascinating structures David. There is such a tunnel going down from our Chew reservoir to Mossley - gravity fed and a few miles long. Seen another interesting reservoir structure towards your way at Scammonden Dam today.
