It was built by the Birmingham Waterworks Company[1] and was at that time situated in the parish of Aston.[1] On 1 January 1876 the company was purchased by Birmingham Corporation Water Department. More recently, it has been a boating lake, although this is no longer the case. In the 1950s it was used for speedboat racing.[2] The area around the reservoir is used as a park, Salford Park. It sits immediately adjacent to Gravelly Hill Interchange, and in a bend of the river.
