Reservoir[edit]

Can anyone here expand on the construction history of the reservoir under the hockey pitches? SheffGruff (talk) 13:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya: Ordnance survey map for 1903 shows the three dams which called Godfrey Dam, New Dam and Old Great Dam.

Extract from Rivelin Valley Conservation Group says:

These dams were built either side of Northumberland Rd (at the time called Dam Lane) and all were intended to impound water from the local springs. With the exception of the Old Great Dam all the dams have now been filled in and are part of Sheffield University Goodwin Sports Complex.

The sports pitches on Whitham Rd opposite Weston Park Hospital are the site of Godfrey Dam, built in 1790 and extended in 1853. On the opposite side of Northumberland Rd was New Dam built in 1787 and enlarged in 1809. Nearer Crookesmoor Rd alongside Narrow Walk were Ralphs and Misfortune Dams, with Butchers Dam on the opposite side of Northumberland Rd.

The dams together with the Old Great Dam supplied water to the town via a working reservoir at Portobello (near the old Jessop’s Hospital) to a stone cistern in Division St from where it was distributed to various parts of town. Best Regards Mick Knapton (talk) 20:57, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
