Elan Valley and its Pipeline into Birmingham.

Recently given a copy of a book published by "City of Birmingham Water Department" called "Elan Supply Description of Work"s. Published in 1908. It contains a very good description of the works, It includes 7 photos, map of the dams etc and a strip map of the works from Elan to Birmingham and a section of the aquaduct. Absolutely facinating.

PS: 3 "new" copies of the book are on sale on Abe books for less than £10.
