This empty plot was the site of a covered reservoir built at the end of the 19th century by the Goring and Streatley Water Company. It became redundant and was eventually demolished and the site is presumably awaiting development. Thames Water still have an operational site at the back beyond the trees, which amongst other things houses their comms. tower.
