Another view of SP9113 : Tringford Pumping Station taken from the same place as SP9113 : Tringford Reservoir - Looking across to the pumping station but with a much higher zoom. The actual pumping station is the brown building, just the end of which can be seen. The main white building is either (former) offices associated with it, or part of Tringford Farm.
For a good view of the whole pumping station, see SP9112 : Tringford Pumping Station
Tringford Reservoir, near Tring, Hertfordshire

Tringford Reservoir is one of four large reservoirs built to supply water to the Grand Junction Canal (now the Grand Union Canal) at the highest point on the canal between London and the Midlands. It was built in 1816 and the associated pumping station (which is still in use) was built in 1818.
In addition to its use to supply water to the canal it is also a private fishery and for many years it was used as a duck shoot. The adjoining land has become woodland and there is a bird hide. Together with the adjoining reservoirs it is a biological site of special scientific interest and for information on the wildlife visit the Friends of Tring Reservoir site LinkExternal link
