The reservoir was created by flooding Cockman's farm in 1835. The Brent and the Silk brooks were dammed and the water from the lake was used to supply the Grand Union Canal. At its greatest extent it covered 400 acres (c1853), but was reduced in the twentieth century to 110 acres. Even so, it is said to contain enough water to fill three million baths, and in 1991 was believed to contain 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) of fish.

East End Road was originally the route from the hamlet of Church End Finchley to the old Great North Road when it ran through Muswell Hill. The road has had various names such as Manor Lane (19th century) and Finchley Road (18th century). In the medieval period a triangle of waste, called Hunts Green (1437), which stretched from Stanley Road to the Junction of Church Lane, was the location of the first hamlet of East End Finchley (1365).
