The aqueduct from Haweswater, in the Lake District, to Manchester terminates here at Heaton Park Reservoir. The aqueduct is 82 miles long, was finished in 1955 and carries up to 100 million gallons per day under gravity induced flow. The bas relief on the wall of this building depicts the pipeline.
