Thirlmere Aqueduct Self-Closing Valve (1890)
The reservoir at Thirlmere was built between 1885 and 1894. Transportation of the water from Thirlemere to Manchester required the construction of a 96-mile aqueduct. This self-closing valve was one of a series used to control the flow of water along the aqueduct. When a leak occurred downstream, the valves closed automatically to prevent wastage of water. These original valves had to be reopened by hand; in 1996, they were replaced by new valves which can be reopened remotely. This one was salvaged and is now on display at the Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester.
