Biographical history
Plans for the construction of two reservoirs and diversion of the River Lea were drawn up by the East London Water Works Company, partly in Tottenham and Edmonton and partly in Chingford and Walthamstow. The works were carried out under the East London Water Works Act, 1897 and were intended to secure a greater supply of water for an increasing population and to provide a reserve of water in case of drought. The works were executed by Messrs. Pearson and Son and the formal opening ceremony took place on 8 June 1903.

Archival history
The records were found amongst the archives of the Portsmouth Water Company, deposited (1975) in the Portsmouth City Record Office. The presence of the contract drawings is presumably a result of the visit in 1903.
