Knockbracken, reservoir, between the Mealough and Saintfield Roads, was completed in 1901 as part of a much bigger scheme (1891-1901) to bring drinking water to Belfast from the Mournes. The engineer for the Belfast Water Commissioners project was Luke Macassey Image Now disused, it had a capacity for 100 million gallons. This is the south eastern end seen from the Mealough Road. The satellite photograph shows its unusual shape.
