Nidd Aqueduct, Water transportation structure in North Yorkshire, England
The Nidd Aqueduct extends across 32 miles from Angram and Scar House reservoirs in upper Nidderdale to Bradford in West Yorkshire, England.
Parliamentary Powers granted in 1892 enabled Bradford to construct this water system, starting with Hayden Carr and Gouthwaite reservoirs in the early 1890s.
The aqueduct emerged from Bradford's industrial needs, providing water for both residential consumption and wool processing in a city without major natural rivers.
This infrastructure delivers 21 million imperial gallons of water daily to Chellow Heights treatment works through underground tunnels and crossing bridges.
The system includes a 2,486-yard tunnel reaching depths of 484 feet, incorporating bridges and syphons to maintain continuous water flow across varied terrain.
