Brinklow arch. April 1973. April 1975.
This is what is now the remaining visible arch of a 12 arch aqueduct widened in 1834 on the off side of the canal. The others have been infilled. Brindley was forced to build it as the local landowner would not let him follow the contours, as he usually did, into the grounds of his house. This arch carries the Smite Brook under the canal. It is probable that the other arches on this side were buried when the embankment was built to accommodate a full width canal on top, hence the need for the extensive wing walls.
