Talk:Brent Reservoir

message: There is a reference to "The Welsh Harp" inn in a directory of 1825, several years before the reservoir was even built. The name of the reservoir was various in the first decades of its existance, including: Brent Reservoir, Kingsbury Lake, Hendon Lake, Hendon Water, and (as in the Inn) Welsh Harp Water. The Victorians nicknamed the lake after the famous inn not the other way round, and in descriptions of the inn they even say as much. Can anyone out their provide evidence that the lake is name after the shape of the lake itself (actuall evidence drawn from a reputable source, it looks like a harp to me). If I don't hear from anyone I'm going to change it back again.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hugh Petrie (talk • contribs) 15:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In 1866, the reservoir was called Kingsbury Reservoir - as documented in 'The Birds of Middlesex' by James Edmund Harting, a naturalist who knew the area well. There is no mention of the 'Welsh Harp' in the book. This appears to confirm that Kingsbury Reservoir was its official name. We would need to find a reference as to when it was first referred to as the Welsh Harp. My feeling is that it would have acquired that name from the Inn during its heyday when it was a noted recreation area. I also wonder how it would be known from the ground that the reservoir resembled the shape of a Welsh Harp as it would be before commercial flights.Andrewself (talk) 19:13, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

message: the reference for this goes to the Brent Reservoir website  showing a list of 245 species up to April 2002. However this omitted White Stork (in 1999) and since then, Caspian Gull has been added by virtue of it being declared a full species by the BOU; Lesser Scaup was seen in 2003; Hume's Warbler was seen in 2004; and Waxwing in 2005, making the current list 250.Andrewself (talk) 18:59, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
