Linacre Reservoirs, Chesterfield - 4K Drone Footage

I took my drone on a peaceful and tranquil visit to the Linacre Reservoirs to capture some 4K video footage. Linacre Reservoirs is a series of three reservoirs on the western outskirts of Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Linacre Lower Reservoir (storage capacity of 140 million litres, 9m deep) was built in 1855 following an Act of Parliament granting permission for its construction to supply drinking water to Chesterfield. Linacre Upper Reservoir was built in 1885 (capacity 575 million litres, 19m deep). Linacre Middle Reservoir was built in 1904 (capacity 410 million litres, 13m deep). From 1909 the public water supply was filtered through filter beds. Previously there were widespread complaints about its taste and odour, with a report that: "The appearance of the public water supply was such that the poor used it as soup, the middle class for washing their clothes and the elite for watering their gardens." They reservoirs ceased to be used for public water supply in 1995.
