Brookvale Park lake
Formed from the earlier natural pool of Lower Witton Lake, this became Lower Witton Reservoir (under the management of the Corporation Water Works) during the latter part of the 19th century, and provided a drinking water supply to Birmingham. When the reservoirs of the Elan Valley in mid Wales took over the task of supplying the city in the early 1900s, this lake reverted to a more recreational state, and had swimming baths erected on the far shore. These fell into disuse and were demolished before the area was landscaped in the 1970s.

Slipway into Brookvale Lake
Right at the southern tip of what's marked as a 'boating lake', this concrete slipway appears to allow yacht access to the water. On this early morning visit, the weather was fine for ducks, but rather less conducive to watersports.

Former off-licence
Last used as the premises of 'Lester Virgo [who] is licensed to sell, by retail, intoxicating liquor of all descriptions for consumption off the premises'. Judging by the state of the place, that was some while ago.
