The picture is taken where the path crosses Lodge Moore Roar, looking back towards Sheffield. The brown vegetation to the right of the path hides the open conduit. The conduit was built to carry clean water from the Redmires reservoirs on the edge of Sheffield to reservoirs in Crookes Valley closer to the centre of the city following the devastating cholera epidemic of 1832. The first part comprises an open water conduit (as shown in the photo) before going underground.
