Grassholme Reservoir, County Durham. Partially drained to allow repair work to be carried out on the dam wall.


The reservoir was built in 1915 and when the valley was flooded it drowned a bridle way that was carried over the river on an old packhorse bridge. When the reservoir was drained the bridge was revealed still largely intact.
