Nantwich Aqueduct

[1][2] Telford designed several aqueducts on the Shropshire Union and other canals using cast iron troughs.

[3] The Nantwich example is one of three by Telford with a similar design; the others are at Congleton, also in Cheshire, and Stretton in Staffordshire.

The project won the restoration and historic environment category of the Canal & River Trust's Living Waterways Awards in 2016.

These stand adjacent to curved brick walls with a stone coping, which retain the embankment.

The structure is topped on each side by cast-iron balustrades, 3 feet 9 inch high, which continue along the curved embankment walls.
