The three Redmires Reservoirs were built between 1833 & 1854 to provide clean drinking water to Sheffield. The construction was partly in response to a Cholera epidemic that devastated the city in 1832.
Today the reservoirs and surrounding paths are very popular with walkers and families. The middle reservoir is a nature reserve managed by the Sheffield Wildlife Trust.
