Anyone
travelling along the M62 from Yorkshire to Lancashire will
have noticed Scammonden Water. The reservoir was completed
in 1971 and was dammed by
a section of the M62, a considerable feat of engineering,
opened by the Queen in 1971.
The
reservoir can just be seen in the above image which was taken
in the picnic area at the far end from the dam. A path up
to the left takes visitors to the hamlet of Deanhead, part
of which now lies under the reservoir.
The
circular walk around the reservoir is a popular weekend outing
for Huddersfield people. However,
you might notice it does rain at Scammonden from time to time.
