Lymm Dam

Coordinates: 53°22′34″N 2°28′48″W / 53.376°N 2.480°W / 53.376; -2.480 Lymm Dam is the name of a lake in Lymm, Cheshire, England, situated in the greenbelt buffer[1] between the nearby towns of Warrington and Altrincham. It was created in 1824 by a dam built during the construction of what is now the A56 road, when local inhabitants objected to initial plans for a route through the village centre. It may have been used to supply power to local industry, and the surrounding area.[2]
