The Elan Valley aqueduct crosses the River Severn near [[Folly Point]] between [[Bewdley]] and [[Arley]]. The pipes it carries are part of a network installed in the early 1900s to bring water from the Elan Valley in Wales to the city of Birmingham. Water from the Aqueduct is now used to supply the towns of Mamble and Tenbury as well as the City of Birmingham. At times of peak demand the supply is supplemented by water from nearby [[Trimpley Reservoirs & Waterworks | Trimpley Reservoir]]<ref>[https://www.stwater.co.uk/leisure-and-learning/reservoir-locations/trimpley/*/tab/about/ Severn Trent Water] (Retrieved 4 December 2015)</ref>
