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 m3 (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.
