Title
Greyfriars' conduit head in Queen Square
Description
A view of the stone-built medieval conduit head beneath the garden of 20 Queen Square, Holborn (an eighteenth-century Georgian house which was occupied by the Chalfont House Settlement). The conduit head, which was once called the Chimney and Devil's Conduit, was used to house and supply water to London's Greyfriars' monastery. Within the photograph sits a lone candle which lights the space. In 1927 the conduit head was removed and re-built at New River Head. The house at number 20 no longer exists; part of The President Hotel, Guildford Street, now sits on the site.
