Redmires Reservoirs Claimed

Fulwood, Sheffield

URPoint Details

Redmires Reservoirs are a group of three reservoirs in Fulwood and are fed from the Hallam Moors by various small streams including Fairthorn Clough. The three reservoirs are named Upper, Middle and Lower and date from 1836 and were built to provide clean drinking water via a water course down to Barker's Pool 5½ miles away following the devastating Sheffield cholera epidemic of 1832.

The area is popular with walkers and bird watchers. A path from the Upper reservoir leads onto the moors and to Stanedge Pole.
