Bath Road reservoir site
This is one of the buildings associated with the reservoir. They are no longer used, and there are plans for houses on the site, creating much controversy as there is a little nature colony grown up in there.
Update 8th October 2009. Reading Borough Council's planning committee has rejected plans for 100 houses to be built on the site, after a big local campaign.
