- VALVE HOUSE (Early 20th Century - 1901 AD to 1920 AD)
Protected Status/Designation
- World Heritage Site Buffer Zone
Full Description
The site is not shown on an OS map at the end of the 19th century, but is shown on an early 20th century OS map as 'Valve House' associated with the 'Derwent Aqueduct (Derwent Valley Water Board)', which appears to be a water supply pipe running over a long distance connecting a network of reservoirs. (1, 2)
The valve house was identified at SK 3212 5770 during survey in 2008. There was no public access to the site, so it was viewed from the footpath 26m away. The building is orientated north-east to south-west and appeared to be of similar dimensions to the other valve house [SMR 19058]. (3)
