Water from Wayoh to Jumbles travels along here The reservoir was built as a compensation reservoir in 1876 to ensure a continuous flow of water into Bradshaw Brook - so essential to feed the several bleach works down stream at that time. It is now used for domestic supply and another compensation reservoir has been built down stream in the Jumbles. http://www.lancashire.gov.uk/environment/countryside/walking/edgworth.asp
