Gorton Reservoirs are two reservoirs on the boundary of Tameside and Manchester in the North West of England.[1] They are Gorton Upper Reservoir and Gorton Lower Reservoir. The upper and lower sections are separated by a road supported by a stone bridge consisting of a series of arches. They are owned and maintained by United Utilities.[1] The reservoirs were completed between 1825 and 1826.[2] Able to supply almost 1 million imperial gallons of water per day to the city of Manchester and the surrounding area; they were used until 1963.[2]
