Building the Dam Embankment 1/4/1927

Photograph used by kind permission of Lancashire Library Service - Clitheroe

Many of the photographs are taken from, and much of the text of the following pages regarding the construction of Stocks Reservoir, is based on the "Souvenir of the Inauguration of the Hodder Supply by H.R.H. The Prince George, K.G. on July 5th 1932".

This hard-back commemorative booklet produced by the Fylde Water Board was presented to the Chief Cashier at Stocks Reservoir; Mr. John Heap, who then gave it to the late Mr. John Walmsley of Waddington. The booklet was kindly lent for use on this website by his son Mr. Ian Walmsley. Other soft-back copies of the booklet were produced and appear to have been given to "less senior" guests at the opening of the reservoir.
