Tilehurst is a suburb of Reading in Berkshire. Situated on high ground some 3 miles from town centre, the Tilehurst Water Tower is a prominent landmark when approaching Reading from the West on the M4 Motorway. The name Tilehurst comes from 'tigel' or 'tile' and 'hurst' or 'wooded hill' - tile manufacturing was present in the district until recent times.
