As populations across the Calder Valley expanded, thanks to the constant creation of mills in the 19th Century, the need for usable water saw the building of huge reservoirs on the hillsides. In 1901, the 3 Walshaw Dean Reservoirs were to be constructed. A shanty town for the workers (navvies) was built in the fields of Whitehill Nook in Heptonstall. The Canadian Klondike Gold Rush had just happened, and the town took on the name Dawson City.
This 'city' was still 5 miles from the reservoir site, and a tramline and railway was built to run from the Dawson City Camp to Walshaw Dean. This included the building of a huge trestle railway bridge to span the Alcomden Water at Blake Dean.
By 1913, the Bridge and the City were already a memory for the locals of Heptonstall and Hebden Bridge.
