A small circular structure, approximately 8 metres in diameter, is visible on aerial photographs taken in 1946 to the west of the Imperial Hotel complex. It appears to be sunk into the ground and may be an Emergency Water Supply reservoir of Second World War date. It is not clearly visible on later aerial photographs and the site is now grassed with a path across the site of the reservoir.
