Yet another site Ive visited a few times now, but last time was with Timtom.
Its a disused Victorian reservior that used the feed the town of Brading and surrounding villages, but a new one nearby has replaced it.
On with the pics;
I scanned this in from the local newspaper, some bright spark wanted to turn it into an underground cafe
Daytime shot, its all uncovered now due to the above paper report.
One of the 4 vents on the top.
Inside;
Entry hatch and a rather large ball valve system.
The curved sidewall.
Some of the many pillars.
Pillar and concaved side wall.
Pillar base.
Lovely enamelled brick floor.
And again.
One of the many spiders that now call this place home.
And another.
Hope your not squiemish
Not 100% sure what this was, but I think the top pivoted on a float device, telling you the water level.
Night time shot.
