Dale Dike Reservoir, Reservoir in Peak District, England
Dale Dike Reservoir spans 58 acres at an elevation of 211 meters, forming part of a chain between Strines and Damflask Reservoirs.
The original dam, completed in 1863, failed catastrophically in 1864, causing the Great Sheffield Flood that resulted in 244 casualties.
The reservoir stands as a reminder of Victorian engineering and water management practices that shaped industrial development in Sheffield.
A circular path extends 2.5 miles around the water, with roadside parking available along Mortimer Road near the Strines Inn.
The current dam, built in 1875, holds 72,860,000 cubic feet of water and sits 980 feet upstream from the original structure.
