| Between 1875 and 1966 eleven reservoirs in
Nidderdale AONB were constructed. They are now a key landscape
feature and contribute to the rich heritage of the area.
The 'Source to City Project' has been developed to celebrate,
raise awareness, increase and widen participation in heritage of
reservoirs in Nidderdale AONB. Funded through
the Heritage Lottery, the project over a three year period
will:
- Connect rural communities at the 'source' to urban communities in the cities of Leeds and Bradford that the reservoirs feed. This will be achieved through information and exchange visits. - Develop an events programme including walks and talks to
raise awareness and understanding of reservoir heritage.
- Provide rural and urban schools with educational materials
focusing on reservoir heritage.
- Widen access to reservoir heritage through improved
information provision.
- Create an educational and entertaining website providing a
wide range of information, video clips, walks, historical
documents, photographs and events.
