Culvert. Circa 1800 or possibly later. Dressed and rock-faced sandstone.
Segmental arch with cut voussoirs, rollmould,three courses of rockface stone
and plain coping; supporting piers on either side. Rockface stonework in
tunnel. The tunnel is approximately 20 yards long. The tunnel is part of the
water supply system for Mellor's Mill, demolished 1892. It appears to have
supplied water to the Wellington Wheel, a breastshot wheel in the centre of
the mill building. The mill was built by Samuel Oldknow, the important local
entrepreneur, landowner and propagator of the Peak Forest Canal, who lived at
the nearby Mellor Lodge, now also demolished.
