It was built between 1937 and 1940 by Stewarts & Lloyds (supervised by Geoffrey Binnie of Binnie & Partners)[3][4] to supply water to their Corby steel works, now part of Tata Steel, formerly Corus.[8] During the Second World War it was used in May 1943 as a practice site for the Dambuster raids, standing in for the Möhne Reservoir; a plaque commemorates this.[5][6][7] The reservoir is an important site for wintering wildfowl, such as wigeon, teal, mallard and pochard. Other habitats are marsh, mudflats, grassland, broad-leaved woodland and plantations.[8] There is no public access to the reservoir, which is reserved for a trout fishery,[9] but it can be viewed from a public footpath which runs along part of the eastern side.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url= https://designatedsites.naturalengland.org.uk/SiteDetail.aspx?SiteCode=S1004428&SiteName=eye%20brook&countyCode=&responsiblePerson=&SeaArea=&IFCAArea=|title=Designated Sites View: Eye Brook Reservoir | series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate = 12 September 2017}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url= http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=sssiIndex&query=HYPERLINK%3D%271004428%27|title=Map of Eye Brook Reservoir|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 12 September 2017}} 3. ^{{cite book|last=Muir Wood|first=Sir Alan|title=Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society: Geoffrey Morse Binnie (13 November 1908 - 5 April 1989)|year=1990|publisher=Royal Society|location=London|pages=45–57}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-484000-294000/page/11|year=1986|title=Eyebrook Reservoir|publisher=BBC|series=Domesday Reloaded|accessdate= 12 September 2017}} 5. ^1 {{cite news|title=Video: Flypast marks 70 years since Dambuster Raids|url=http://www.harboroughmail.co.uk/news/local-news/video-flypast-marks-70-years-since-dambuster-raids-1-5099573|accessdate=3 June 2013|newspaper=Harborough Mail|date=2013-05-16}} 6. ^{{cite web|last=Arquati|first=Richard|title=Air Tattoo to Salute Dambusters|url=http://www.raf.mod.uk/news/archive/air-tattoo-to-salute-dambusters-16052013|work=Press releases|publisher=Ministry of Defence|accessdate=3 June 2013|date=16 May 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|title=Operation Chastise|url=http://www.raf.mod.uk/history/bombercommanddambusters21march1943.cfm|work=Bomber command|publisher=Royal Air Force|accessdate=3 June 2013}} 8. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1004428.pdf |title=Eye Brook Reservoi citation|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 12 September 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rutlandgillies.co.uk/site/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52:eyebrook-trout-fishery&catid=34:fising-reports&Itemid=60|title=Eyebrook Trout Fishery |publisher=Rutland Gillies|accessdate= 12 September 2017}} External links
