Report by C Mann on the remains of over twenty open wells and some sub-surface concrete tanks, associated with the borough’s first public water supply - provided in 1859 by the Reigate Water Works Company. Water was pumped from the works to a reservoir in Reigate Park. The company was bought by the East Surrey Water Company in 1895, who continued to use the works until about 1930. The pump station was demolished in 1950. (SIHG 86)
