GB 0074 CLC/B/168 1686-1696 Collection 3 production units. New River Company

In the late 16th-century, there was a pressing need for a fresh water supply to the City of London. Work was begun on a new conduit in 1609, which was completed in 1613. The New River rises from Chadwell Spring in Hertfordshire and ends in the Round Pond at New River Head. The New River Company was incorporated in June 1619.

In 1902 the provision of London's water supply passed to the newly created Metropolitan Water Board. Following this takeover, the New River Company was re-incorporated as a modern property company.

NOTE: Ms 02924 (lease by the Company to the Barbers' Company) was returned to the Barbers' Company in 1992.

Ms 04883 was donated to the Manuscripts Section of Guildhall Library in 1948. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
