Oxspring Dam

Oxspring Dam, located in Sheffield, is a small reservoir also known historically by several names including Bark Dam, Rawson's Dam, and Wards End Dam. The dam is currently used as a private fishing spot.

The site is notable for its outfall infrastructure, which feeds into a tunnel that runs beneath the adjacent road. The tunnel connects the dam's outflow to a main inflow channel, with an additional covered tunnel branching off nearby.
