The spillway is relatively wide and shallow, I presume it was widened in 2002 when the bridge was rebuilt SE1952 : Swinsty - spillway bridge datestone.
Swinsty Reservoir :: SE1953

Swinsty is the lowest of three impounding reservoirs for water supply in the Washburn Valley, the others being Fewston (middle) and Thruscross (upper). There is also Lindley Wood reservoir lower down the valley, used only for compensation water. Swinsty was built in the 1870s, holds just under 4 million cubic metres of water, and supplies water to the Leeds area.
