Sadberge Reservoir 1886
This reservoir at the edge of Sadberge lies disused since 1985, its vast curved walls have become a magnet to BMX stunt riders.
Some large cast iron pipework can be found in the bottom of the reservoir.
A date stone from 1886 still exist with the name “S & M W B” which I believe stands for “Stockton and Middlesbrough Water Board” looking at the vandalised wreckage on the ground I think the building was at one time castellated.
The jubilee stone in the village was found during the construction of the reservoir.
Sadberge Chainsaw Sculptures
The carving were created by chainsaw artist Tommy Craggs in 2011
Roman woman (originally planned as a roman soldier but the trunk was not wide enough)
Sadberge Glacial Boulder
This rock was deposited by a glacier and discovered 12 feet below the surface when a nearby reservoir was being constructed
It was placed in the village to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria on 20th June 1887, by William Alexander Wooler (1831-91) of Sadberge HallÂ
As pointed out below by Helen, the reservoir in question is the small one to the west of the village, rather than the large one at Long Newton
