Nidderdale - Angram Reservoir - Stone Beck
Angram reservoir is basically fed by the River Nidd and Stone Beck. This is Stone Beck just below the weir and you can see that nature has quickly moved back in with the grass returning to the mud banks which are normally underwater. This is obviously to the delight of the sheep who graze on the rough fell sides.
Strangely they have been planting a few trees in the gully's that feed into Stone Beck to soak up moisture
(Beck is another name for a stream)
Angram Reservoir is the first of three reservoirs on the River Nidd in Upper Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, England, the others being Scar House Reservoir and finally the compensation reservoir Gouthwaite. Angram was built in 1918 by Bradford Corporation
You can see the metal gate from a previous photo
