This was a reservoir used in one of the industrial processes at either the Bauxite or Tennant's Chemical Works further down the bank. In the 1950s when I was a young boy, the Bauxite & the Chemical Works were gone & they'd left an industrial wasteland or eyesore. Us kids used to play around this reservoir & sometimes there was an old wooden raft to play on. The reservoir wasn't deep so you could stand on the raft & use a pole to push it. '
