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 fifty-year period in the 14th Century.

Use of the conduit ceased after the Great Fire of London in 1666.
