Work was started on the Leighton reservoir in 1908 but due to the war and various setbacks it wasn’t officially completed until 1941.
It provides water for the surrounding area and helps maintain the levels in the river Ure.
The Swinton Estate own the land around the reservoir and stock it for fishing.
