  There is one tank here on the GeoHive 25".

• Niall McAuley said:

  Looks like the stonework from the one on the right has been incorporated into the county council offices: streetview The modern streetmap at the OSI shows a tank up there, but it is an underground one, I think, under this grass bank in streetview.

• Niall McAuley said:

  The stone one was around in 1905 for the 25", and the iron one was perhaps new for this photo in 1928?

  DIA/NIAH let us down today.

  On the 25" OSI Map the lower reservoir is already there, but the upper is "in construction. (You have to zoom right in to see them, though.)

• Sharon Corbet said:

  Wikipedia article on the Vartry reservoirs. The lower one was completed between 1863-68, the upper in 1923. The engineer was Parke Neville, the Dublin City and Waterworks Engineer. Plus a 1906 Postcard of the Vartry Reservoir in Stillorgan that this fed into.

  I'd guess from the shadows that it's looking more or less north but I don't see the sugarloaf.

• pan datale said:

  Fantastic

• Sharon Corbet said:

  derangedlemur I tried wandering around the reservoir on streetview, but eventually gave up. That said, this doesn't look too far off. The Sugarloaf is off to the right left.

  At the DIA we have, dated 1861-1868: New water supply scheme for Dublin, Pembroke and Blackrock, consisting of large storage reservoir with capacity of 84,000,000 gals. at Roundwood, filter beds, tunnel to Callowhill and pipe to Stillorgan.

• Fred Dean Snr. said:

  Could it be this? www.google.ie/maps/place/Callowhill/@53.0733673,-6.205944...

• Niall McAuley said:

  Permission for a pipe to replace the 150 year old tunnel was granted in 2017.
