Brownhill dam was built in the 1930s. When this reservoir is full, the long-term settlement of the earth dam can be clearly seen (follow the line of the bottom of the wave wall, compared with the water surface which must be horizontal). In the middle distance is the valve tower, and the buildings on the far side are the water treatment works.
