A map and layout of the Tin Town, built for the 1000 or so navvy workers and their families who built the reservoirs. There is a trail here through the former site with information boards (shaped like little tin houses) telling you what life was like when they built the dams. It's really close to the site of the foundations for an old railway used during the construction, which is visible when the water levels are low.
