    The aerial shot is some years out of date. the reservoir in the northwest corner was taken out of service when the M60 motorway was constructed in mid 1990's.

    Correction, my eyesight going. The aerial map is upto date. What was known as Reservoir No.3 (northwest one) was drained and reduced in size. part of the reduction can still be seen from these aerial shots. The Denton reservoirs were taken out of service some time ago (or covered over - unsure)
