Greenbooth Reservoir Claimed

Greenbooth Reservoir is to the north of Heywood and close to Norden in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale. In 1846, Heywood Waterworks Company finished constructing the Naden Reservoirs (Lower Naden, Middle Naden and Higher Naden) in the valley above the village of Greenbooth.

The only visible reminder of Greenbooth village today is a plaque on the side of the reservoir dam wall which reads: the site of which is submerged beneath the waters of this reservoir. The four reservoirs are in a peaceful area for a country walk with good views of Manchester in the distance. Some of the wind turbines of Scout Moor Wind Farm are visible from the surrounding paths.
