Abstract:		 Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Rosie Inman-Cook to carry out historic building recording of an early 20th century reservoir on land off Watley Lane, Twyford, Hampshire. The former reservoir is the subject of a proposal for conversion to a private dwelling. The photographic survey and site visit was undertaken on the 19th of October 2016. The photographic survey records both exterior and interior features of the reservoir. Documentary research was undertaken at the Hampshire Records Office, Winchester. The history and development of the site is directly linked to the construction of Twyford Pumping Station and the growing demands of the city of Southampton. Built in 1905, as a service reservoir for Twyford Pumping Station, it shortly became clear that greater capacity was needed to serve the growing population of Southampton. As such a larger reservoir was constructed to the south-east of subject reservoir in the 1930's. Both of the reservoirs remained active until the 1960's, at which point the 1905 reservoir was decommissioned in favour of the larger reservoir. There appears to have been no developments made to the 1905 reservoir during its operational lifetime. The first, and only, major alteration made to the reservoir was made in the late 1980's with the construction of a nuclear bunker to act as a communication base for southern water in the event of nuclear war. This truncated more than a third of the original reservoir. The bunker was completed in 1990 and decommissioned in 1997. It was subsequently sold by Southern Water and operated as server centre during the early 2000's.
