Tips

Abbeystead Reservoir, constructed in 1855, was originally designed to provide a reliable and robust water source to power the mills downstream along the river Wyre. As the industrial era waned and the need for such water resources diminished, the reservoir ceased its active service. Nevertheless, the weirs that once regulated its flow are still diligently maintained to this day.

The Abbeystead reservoir was built in 1855 by the Corporation of Lancaster to supply mills lower down the River Wyre in the dry season.
