Bottoms Reservoir Panorama
The lowest of the chain of 5 reservoirs in the Longdendale valley. The reservoir is named, not for it's position but after Bottoms Mill (owned by the Sidebottom family) which stood on the site before the reservoir was built.
A couple of shots in the comment below - the first of the view across the dam to Tintwistle, showing the water level to be fairly low. The second is of the information board (now missing, presumed vandalised) with some history of the reservoir - taken in 2019.
