Aston Reservoir , sometimes known as Salford Lake , Salford Park Pool or Salford Bridge Reservoir , is a 19th-century reservoir , formerly used for drinking water extracted from the River Tame ,[1] in Birmingham , England. 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 .
It used to be a lake for boating more recently, but that 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 has a capacity of 111,400 m 3 (145,700 cu yd ) behind an earthfill dam,[3] and sits immediately adjacent to Gravelly Hill Interchange (aka Spaghetti Junction ) of the M6 motorway and Aston Expressway , and in a bend of the river.
