caption_attribution_description: English: Scar House Reservoir. This photo was taken from the track of the old railway line which is now a tarmac road.
context_page_description: Scar House Reservoir is the second of the three reservoirs in Upper Nidderdale, England, the others being Angram Reservoir and Gouthwaite Reservoir. Between them they attract around 150,000 visitors a year.
  Angram and Scar House were built to supply water to the Bradford area of West Yorkshire, England. Water from here is transferred to Chellow Heights via the Nidd Aqueduct using only gravity and no pumping.
  The dam contains over one million tonnes of masonry, it rises to 55 metres above the river and is almost 600 metres long. It was completed in 1936. The dam height is 71 metres
  The reservoir is fed almost exclusively from Angram reservoir, which in turn is fed predominantly from the flanks of Great Whernside.
