The Bristol Water Works 'Line of Works' was created in the mid-1800s to transport millions of gallons of water from the various sources along the Mendip Hills on to reservoirs at Barrow, before sending it into the city. This massive project brought many miles of tunnels, conduits and aqueducts across the landscape. Here, just on the edge of Winford, the pipe emerges and becomes an aqueduct as it spans the small stream the wends through the village.
