Looking for something on google, came across these two entries clearly false search results (google spam?) designed to entice people to sites of no interest what so ever, but, quite amusing:'Meet People in Eccup Reservoir, West yorkshire - Make New Friends ...''Property to rent in Eccup Reservoir, Leeds'The mind boggles!

Hopefully, if the pic. appears, it is a view of the Valve Head Shaft.

From memory it took a while for my first pictures to appear. I suspect there is a "trusted users" setting for those with a short posting history which means that images have to be cleared by admin.

From the arches the water is piped around Dunstarn farm to the ring road, roughly following the 100m contour, around the north of the cricket pitch and then under the ringroad. It then follows the route of the path through Weetwood woods to the Hollies and on to the works. the stuff in the ground is a mixture of 1920's and 1980's. Anything earlier will have been buldozed when replaced and you'd need to have less than a 40" waist to fit through them.There are two tunnels, the new one is live, the other abandoned. Both follow a straight line from Smith's Shaft to the arches. The shafts are related to the old abadoned tunnel only.

We all spent quite some time speculating over this but there seems to be little in the way of published info (certainly not generally available).It does look as though our joint deductions were more or less correct - is there any other detail you could add?
