New River Head

New River Head is the London terminus of the New River, the artificial watercourse opened in 1613 to bring water into the city. The former Metropolitan Water Board offices of 1915 are Grade II* listed, NHLE 1195722, and four further entries inside the enclosure are Grade II: the former engine house with its attached boiler houses and coal store, NHLE 1195724; the windmill base, NHLE 1208526; the chimney conduit known as the Devil's Conduit in the Round Reservoir, NHLE 1208516; and the revetment of the old inner or round reservoir pound, NHLE 1298001. The site sits in the New River Conservation Area, a borough designation that carries no list entry number. Most of the enclosure is private and part is under conversion, so the structures are seen from Rosebery Avenue and Amwell Street.
