Hushing (aqueducts) - Numerous aqueducts supply water to the minehead where it is stored in large reservoirs and tanks. When a full tank is opened, the wave of water exposes the bedrock underneath. The rock is then attacked by fire-setting to heat the rock, which would be quenched with a stream of water. The thermal shock cracked the rock, enabling it to be removed, aided by further streams of water from the overhead tanks.
