Description:This leaflet extolling the virtues of Edgbaston Reservoir is in a scrapbook covering the early 1920's. is is the "outside" of the leaflet with pictures covering the attractions including swimming,rowing boats, the steamer and motor boat. If this was all too active you could just enjoy a walk along the terrace or around the reservoir itself.

The reservoir is still a hugely popular place today - although the steamer has long gone! Does anyone know the name of the steamer at all?
