The centre of Claremont Square is a reservoir, constructed in the early 18th C to contain water pumped up from the southern terminus of the New River at New River Head - see Image (photographed by David Hawgood). This provided a greater head of water, thereby enabling the New River Company to supply more houses, including some at higher elevations, than had previously been possible.
