Built in 1882 by the Chesterfield Union Water Works, Barbrook Reservoir (or Still as it was called then) held around 100 million gallons of water fed by the Totley Moss to supply the homes of the below valley. It was used for almost 100 years until decommissioning in the 1970s. It fell into disrepair and eventually was breached in 1999. The ‘dried’ reservoir bed is now a nature reserve and forms a peaceful oasis.
