When I'm in Bury, my friend always drives us up to the Turton-Entwistle Reservoir for a bit of a walk:
It kind of breezes an hour or so away.
My friend likes the walk because he says that it gets him away from the rat-race.
Have just read that the Turton-Entwistle Reservoir was constructed in the1830s, and with the adjoining Wayoh Reservoir, provides about 30% of Bolton's drinking water.
This year, we saw that the water level was extremely low near the Entwistle Viaduct:
This summer (2022) has to compare with 1976 for its heatwave and lack of rain.
Have just read that the Entwistle Viaduct is made up of nine semi-circular arches, and was built between 1847 and 1848 for the Blackburn, Darwen, and Bolton railway service.
Yeah, Turton-Entwistle Reservoir is a good place to revisit.
