Editing Upper Goyt Valley (section)

=== Reservoirs ===
The valley floor is now dominated by two drinking-water reservoirs, fed by the [[River Goyt]]. Both reservoirs were built by the Stockport Corporation Waterworks (after they acquired the Grimshawe estate) to provide drinking water for [[Stockport]] town and the surrounding area. [[Fernilee Reservoir]] was completed in 1938 and the hamlet of Goyt's Bridge and Errwood Hall were destroyed to prevent any pollution of the water. [[Errwood Reservoir]] was completed in 1967. A spectacular suspension bridge once crossed the river but it was demolished to make way for Errwood Reservoir. An old packhorse bridge was saved and reconstructed near Goytsclough Quarry. The reservoirs and much of the surrounding land is currently owned by [[United Utilities]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.derbyshireheritage.co.uk/Menu/Misc/Reservoirs/fernilee-reservoir.php|title=Fernilee Reservoir in the Goyt valley|website=Derbyshire Heritage|access-date=22 March 2020}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.goyt-valley.org.uk/history-of-fernilee-errwood-reservoirs/|title=History of the twin reservoirs {{!}} The Goyt Valley|website=The Goyt Valley|access-date=22 March 2020}}</ref>
