Earlswood Lakes
On the border between the modern West Midlands region and Warwickshire are Earlswood Lakes. These were man-made reservoirs built in 1820 to provide water for the then-new Stratford-upon-Avon canal. Although the lakes were built to provide water (and still do to the canal) they quickly became a popular leisure destination especially for residents of Birmingham. The Lakes railway station was built in the early 1900s for these visitors.
