Youlgrave conduit head

• ... that the conduit head of the Youlgrave Waterworks (pictured), built in 1829, is now a listed building, despite being called "big plain [and] lumpy" by Nikolaus Pevsner?

Retrieved 10 August 2022. and "The 9 ft-high tank is not conventionally beautiful. Indeed the esteemed architectural observer Nikolaus Pevsner was singularly unimpressed. In the Derbyshire volume of his 1953 classic The Buildings of England he dismissed it as a ‘big plain lumpy circular conduit head’." from: Seddon, Peter (6 June 2018).

  • ALT1: ... that before the establishment of the Youlgrave Waterworks in 1829, infant mortality in Youlgreave, Derbyshire, was notably higher during the summer months when toxins concentrated in the river water? Source: "For generations infant and child mortality rates had been unusually high in Youlgrave during the summer months – a consequence of consuming water which had become contaminated or ‘brackish’ when the spring and river flows were diminished and toxic concentrations high. Such was the problem that the months of July and August came to be known as ‘fever season’." from: Seddon, Peter (6 June 2018). "Monumental Musings: The Fountain at Youlgrave". Great British Life. Retrieved 10 August 2022.

• I'll have a go at reviewing this article, seeing as how I live fairly local to it. I think ALT2 was good as it's most accessible and unusual for a general audience, but have added ALT3 which I feel is slightly clearer. Proper review to follow. Nick Moyes (talk) 20:16, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
