The former mill reservoir known as Chadwick Dams was incorporated into Stamford Park in 1891. The reservoir was divided in two by an embankment, with the southern section becoming the present boating lake. This, the northern section, is used mostly for fishing by the Ridge Hill Angling Club. Some of the buildings of Tameside Hospital can be seen behind the trees.
