I agree entirely this is Upper Gorple Reservoir on the pennines above Hebden Bridge. A check of the 2009 aerial survey shows that most of the tracks used in the construction of this reservoir are still disernable, and confirm the location |

Thanks Class 31, really good job on these. Don't suppose you'd be interested to write something more substantial on the reservoir and its construction, for the Wiki section on one or other of this image set? Yours, Katy Britain from Above Cataloguing Team Leader |
