Notes:

The furthest upstream of the three original Endliffe Park dams. Located alongside Rustlings Road, near the junction with Riverdale Road and Oakbrook Road.

The sloping bank edge shown in the photograph, has since been built up with stone edging. Parts of the old sloping bank are still visible just under the water.

Previously a long-standing unidentified Picture Sheffield image recognised by members of Sheffield History (www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk) whose help is gratefully appreciated.
