Flash Road aqueduct is a masonry structure located in Middlesex that forms part of the water supply infrastructure associated with the New River scheme. Constructed in the early seventeenth century as part of Sir Hugh Myddelton's New River project, which was designed to convey fresh water from Hertfordshire to London, the aqueduct exemplifies the engineering solutions employed during this period to overcome topographical obstacles. The structure comprises brick and stone masonry typical of early modern water engineering works. The aqueduct remains a significant example of early seventeenth-century civil engineering and continues to represent an important phase in London's development of reliable urban water supply.
