The reservoir was constructed above the village of Barrow Bridge by John and Robert Lord. “The Lord Brothers opened a mill there in the late 18th Century using Crompton’s spinning mules. With the success of this operation they built a water-powered mill further down the valley and carried out ambitious waterworks including the construction of a reservoir, waterfall and sluices to power the mill.”[1] The dark brown appearance of the water in the reservoir is due to discolouration from the surrounding peat that naturally drains into the reservoir.[2] It was put up for sale by auction in March 2018.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.bolton.gov.uk/sites/documentcentre/Documents/BarrowBridgeCAx.pdf |title=Barrow Bridge Conservation Area |accessdate=4 June 2012 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120825161953/http://www.bolton.gov.uk/sites/DocumentCentre/Documents/BarrowBridgeCAx.pdf |archivedate=25 August 2012 |df= }} 2. ^{{cite journal|url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0043135492900294|title=Discolouration of water by peat following induced drought and rainfall simulation, G.
