1956 Baitings Dam near Littleborough, UK

(Satellite)

The purpose of this dam is water supply, not flood control; so a very low reservoir would be a serious issue.
The reservoir is owned by Yorkshire Water.

Low water levels at Baitings Dam in Yorkshire reservoir exposed a Viking era packhorse bridge submerged since the 1950s
[Evidently this photo is old, the following source indicates the drought happened in 2022.
Also, all other sources call it a Middle Age bridge. I think the Viking era is too old.]
