Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Aqueduct, Winford. This looks a very strange image but nothing has been superimposed, not even the curious cow by the stile. The Monarch's Way crosses the field , passing beneath the aqueduct on its way towards 136552. The "elevated section of the 'Line of Works' was constructed in the mid 19th century and takes water by gravity
from the Mendips, via the reservoirs at Barrow, into Bristol and the surrounding area" http://www.n-somerset.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/08E04FDC-6AD3-4A1A-9BA8-22607B3717C9/0/document_200905_WalkNorthSomersetLifeMay2009Issue55.pdf . " It was completed in 1851, with John Simpson acting as the chief engineer, and it is still in use today. It consists of a wrought iron tube, which runs underground for 18km, to Bristol Reservoirs but where it appears above ground it is supported by limestone piers and abutments. It is probably the oldest surviving example of such engineering and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harptree_Combe https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1129231 . |
