This was qite a tricky place to find as it was another night time explore,we evetully found it after lots of useful texts from the ever helpful Obscurity,visited with wevsky & nitewalker.

The history,not much available about this place.

Crete Road reservoir is build into the hillside just off Crete Road West in Folkestone. It's victorian in contruction, being built about 1866, and consists of 2 arched rooms about 88 feet long each, which were used as massive water tanks to supply a drinks factory lower down on the hillside with a reliable supply of water for use in it's manufacturing process.
