From the Wikipedia article
Digley Reservoir is a reservoir located downstream of Bilberry Reservoir, 2 miles (3.2 km) south west of Holmfirth, in West Yorkshire, England. The reservoir was planned during the 1930s, with much land being bought for its construction, but it was not completed until 1954.

Background
History
A bill was presented before Parliament in October 1936 to enable the Huddersfield Corporation to build a reservoir at Digley, impounding Digley Brook. This was passed in July 1937 as the Huddersfield Corporation Act 1937 (1 Edw. 8 & 1 Geo. 6. c. lxix) and required the purchase of several buildings, including two mills and a pub (the Isle of Skye Inn), though one of the mills was derelict. The reservoir did not open until 1954.
