Title: Reserviors in Wicklow area
Post by: sunnymeg on Thursday 26 January 06 22:24 GMT (UK)

Can anyone tell me if there are any Reserviors or Waterworks in C Wicklow? This is connection with my Glossop family who worked as water engineers and were there in about 1868.

Thanks

Avoca is where the TV series Ballykissangel was filmed. Lovely spot.
 Hope this is of some help

There is a Reseriour in Roundwood built in mid 1800, as known as the waterworks.
It supplies water to south dublin. Dublin cororation owns this site.

Hi Meg,

Did you find out anything more ? If not, I know someone involved in the Roundwood Reservoir who may be able to find out if he worked on it.
