Colonel Francis ("Frank") Bradshaw, the one time squire of the village, developed a system of lead pipes to lead water down from the hills into a series of stone troughs. In addition, a series of pipes fed water into some of the cottages in the village where spinning took place. A plaque on the wall names these particular troughs as the Hall Hill Troughs after the nearby (now derelict) Bradshaw Hall, behind Eyam Museum (ahead).
