Tilehurst Water Tower stands close and tall, seen from below so its ring of slender columns and pointed arches lifts the panelled drum and its railed gallery high above the treetops. Aerials and a thin mast crown the roof, with a full moon sitting just behind them. Dark silhouetted trees frame the base, set against soft grey-blue hills, pale clouds and dusty rose-grey stonework, rendered in flat vintage poster shapes with a grainy finish.
About Tilehurst Water Tower
Tilehurst Water Tower stands on a ridge in Tilehurst, a suburb of Reading, at the top of both the town and the borough, with its base 100 metres above sea level. The tower itself is about 36 metres tall, so it can be seen from far off, especially by drivers coming into Reading from the west on the M4. Reading Borough Council built it in 1932 to supplement the Bath Road Reservoir and reach homes higher up than the older tower there could. Thames Water owns it now and it still does that job, holding 900,000 litres and supplying around 10 per cent of Reading's water. In November 2018 it was lit poppy red until Remembrance Day, marking 100 years since the First World War ended.
