The Water Eaton grain silo, which dominates the skyline from the A34 and the Oxford-Kidlington road, was built at the start of the Second World War. It followed the design of other wartime silos, helping to feed the nation when supplies were short. The grain, including wheat, barley and oats, would be taken mechanically to the top of the seven- storey building and cascade through a series of driers on each floor.
The silo closed in the late 1980s and will soon be demolished to make way for the new Oxford Parkway railway station, part of Chiltern Railways’ £150m plan to create a new Oxford-London service via Bicester and High Wycombe to Marylebone.
