More about this scene

Welford Reservoir was constructed in 1837 to store and supply water to the Welford Arm which then fed the Leicester Arm of the Grand Union Canal. This view looks north along the grassy dam towards the bridge over the sluices. There is now a two ft high brick wall along the track.
