Cannock Conduit The building of the Conduit Head or House started in 1736. By supplying the inhabitants of Cannock with free drinking water (it was reputed to be second only to Malvern Water in quality) it kept down illness and death. The area had one of the lowest mortality rates in England at the time. Later to become a registered Charity, The Conduit Trust has served the Township of Cannock for over 200 years.

One of the original pumps can be seen to the right of the Head.
