This is the attractive Victorian operating building at the Bath Road reservoir site, on the day after snow had fallen over much of south-east England. A combination of Victorian architecture and Reading's history of patterned brickwork has led to a particularly attractive design for such a functional building. This site has been the location of a controversial planning application for housing, including conversion of the buildings. However, there is a small nature reserve here, and the second planning application has recently been rejected (October 2009).
