Nantwich Aqueduct
Shropshire Union Canal
A late Thomas Telford aqueduct spanning the main road to the west out of Nantwich. This cast iron structure comprises five panels with an arch, constructed in 1826 and now a grade two listed structure.
The relative late construction date has resulted in something which looks more like a railway bridge and you could be forgiven for failing to recognise it as an aqueduct, were it not for the copious leaks now apparent through the abutments.

This aqueduct has a headroom of 4.6m, spanning a gap 8.8m using 1.8m square cast iron plates bolted together.
