Conduit head
(Formerly Listed as:
The Broad Well Conduit House)
II
Conduit head. Original structure late C16 with later
alterations. Roughly coursed and squared red sandstone with
timber-framed trusses in each gable and plain tiled roof.
Small gabled structure comprising a single chamber accessed by
small inserted doorway in gable, with brick lined water tank
inside. Gables have cambered trusses with bracing and collar,
and are slatted.
HISTORICAL NOTE: the conduit head was a collecting tank
associated with 9 wells in the vicinity, and provided a source
of water for the town of Shrewsbury from 1556, the present
building probably completed by 1578. Water was piped from this
site, known as Broadwell, to several points within the town.
The system was established under licence to the Corporation,
and was acquired by the Corporation in 1878. It remained in
use until 1947. Some of the urban conduit heads associated
with this system still survive (Betton Street, Porthill Road,
St Michael's Street, Sundorne Road, Town Walls (qv)).
