Our Visit
After cycling several miles from Farnham station it was rather disappointing to find the reservoir completely capped off with concrete. looks like this is now a complete no go now so it was rather disappointing to have missed out on seeing this one. I'm sure even vandals with sledge hammers will struggle with the amount of concrete used here.

Shit the bed, they've done a proper job on that

The only thing that's going to get through that is a pickaxe, provided that's not reinforced concrete.

reckon someone got stuck down there at some point?

Or the pictures of me naked down there were enough to make them seal it forever

Sorry Guys, that is reinforced concrete. The site has now been sold for redevelopment.

Update:
It was built in 1924 and is formally known as "Heathy Park Resevoir", its currently under redevelopment and the current owners plan to keep the building, and plan to turn the place into a vehicle storage garage, and so the earthworks to the south of the reservoir have been dug down to allow access for this. Other companies who considered purchasing the land were a scuba diving school and a fish farm, so although it's not accessible, the building looks to have a safe future.
