\"reservoir\"<\/a>
\nThe York Water Company’s reservoir is atop Webb’s Hill, also known as Shank’s or Shenk’s Hill. The reservoir is at photographer Dorcas Haverstick’s back, and the camera is pointing to York City in this February 2010 view. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jack Stuckey, jrstuckey@verizon.net<\/a>, has queried about the location of Webb’s Hill. He has an relative with that surname.
\nHe asked about Slate Ridge, too… .<\/p>\n


\nWebb’s Hill is the hill south of York in Spring Garden Township. It’s known as the location of the two reservoirs<\/a> owned by the York Water Company and a popular place to take a walk.
\nFor decades, Webb’s Hill has given onlookers a birds-eye view of York and is topped with a large, lighted American flag.<\/p>\n

The “Gazetteer of York and Adams Counties” places Slate Ridge in Peach Bottom Township. It is the site of slate mining operations in the 1800s and early 1900s that established the Delta-area as a primary source for roofing slate in this region.
