Great Conduit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Conduit was a man-made underground channel in London, England which brought drinking water from the Tyburn to Cheapside in the City. [1]
It was one of several such conduits and was constructed over a 50 year period in the 14th Century.
Use of the conduit ceased after the Great Fire of London in 1666.
