Aqueduct circa 1770 by James Brindley. Red sandstone and red-brown brick. Segmental arch, largely of brick, has curved rake downward towards centre. A small section at each end of the archway suggests a slightly later lengthening. Side walls under archway have a curved batter, with plinth to central portion. Curved, battered abutments of stone have keystones and plain bands of stone backing brick voussoirs. Plain cap of stone on south side; the corresponding band on north side supports a plain brick parapet to towpath.
