Interesting site on the history. My grandparents, my mother and her sister lived in Reservoir Terrace. It looks attractive in this postcard view. Mom had always fond memories of the rezzer. I took pictures of the sailing club boats on a light leaking folding camera and in the 60s saw the girls do the twist in the Tower dancing round their handbags while mother and her friend looked on.

Edgbaston Reservoir was a big miss for me, I never went there and loved to boat, fish or just look. It seems I went everywhere else! Still thinking how and why I missed it my bike took me everywhere!

“Dr. RS Aitken, Vice-Chancellor, rises his glass to toast Birmingham University Sailing Association's new Enterprise dinghy "Faith" as she was launched on Edgbaston Reservoir on Sunday. The association hopes to build a fleet of dinghies so that racing fixtures can be arranged.”

Looks like a pretty cold blustery day but always good around the water!
