Just to confuse matters, someone has pointed out to me that it's actually "City of Three Waters". City of Dan is indeed at the northen end of the town, and I suspect the folks there might have been a bit beyond the pale as regards the rest of the townsfolk. I'd suspect the names would date from a period of widespread Biblical interest, at least for Dan- that would make it either mid 16th C, 17th C or after the Methodist revival. The buildings suggest the later dates. When was Windermere made redundant, Q? Does that mean it's on job- seekers' allowance now? Oh, and you water diviners have missed out Chasewater in on Cannock Chase, another reservoir.
