Lodge as water reservoir edit

Attestation for lodge as a water reservoir for a cotton mill:

"All cotton mills had 'lodges', reservoirs that stored the water to run the steam engines and obviously this was to be our first port of call. Surprisingly to us the lodge was almost empty (caused by the long hot summer that seemed to occur every year when I was young) and the slimy muddy sides were exposed." http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/88/a4457388.shtml
