The aquaduct is actually nothing at all to do with earlswood lakes and is located near to the junction of Aquaduct Road and Peterbrook Road, Majors Green, Shirley. I know it as Shirley Aquaduct; it is also known as Majors Green Aquaduct. Some brief information, including its location is given at http://www.canalplan.org.uk/gazetteer/kbvg<br /><br />Earlswood Lakes are located about 3 miles from the aquaduct. They are fed via a tributary from the River Blythe and feed the S-o-A canal via a feeder which runs from Engine Pool to terminate at the canal at the rear of Earlswood Motor Yacht Club / Lady Lane Wharf as detailed here<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earlswood_Lakes<br /><br />Hope that helps and sorry for any confusionkdharperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572440081966257481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758529879896713829.post-19815931731106394892011-09-04T10:54:56.097+01:002011-09-04T10:54:56.097+01:00Thanks for the extra facts - its sometimes difficu...Thanks for the extra facts - its sometimes difficult to get even a name for these obscure aqueducts!Andy Tidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297448211000021970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758529879896713829.post-55953769648638823072011-09-03T20:41:47.476+01:002011-09-03T20:41:47.476+01:00...and the feeder from Earlswood Lakes actually co......and the feeder from Earlswood Lakes actually connects to the S-o-A canal at the rear of Earlswood Motor Yacht Clubkdharperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572440081966257481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6758529879896713829.post-22445685267579615682011-09-03T20:19:53.691+01:002011-09-03T20:19:53.691+01:00This aquaduct is actually located in Shirley (and ...This aquaduct is actually located in Shirley (and not Earlswood) and carries the S-o-A canal over the River Cole and Aquaduct Road.
