<p>The Brent Reservoir, also known as the Kingsbury Reservoir, or the Welsh Harp
Reservoir (after a public house which stood on the Edgware Road just north of
the Brent River bridge and in 1971 was demolished to make way for the Staples
Corner fly-over at the start of the M1 motorway), forms a major supply of water
to the Paddington Branch of the <a href="Canal.htm">Grand Union Canal</a>. It
was constructed by building a dam across the <a href="River%20Brent.htm">River
Brent</a> in the area between Old Kingsbury Church and the Edgware Road between
1833 and 1835, and further enlarged and increased in height by 1854.</p>
