G.V. II
Swing road bridge, swing canal aqueduct and centrally placed
control tower. c.1894. Sir Leader Williams engineer. Wrought
iron; brick tower. Both the bridge and aqueduct revolve on a
central axis to allow the passage of ships. The aqueduct
takes the form of a boxed lattice girder with a cranked
upper member and the channel, which remains full of water
when turning, at the bottom. The road bridge has bow-string
lattice girders to either side of the roadway. Fabricated by
A. Handyside and Co. Ltd. Tall 2 x 2-bay, 4-storey central
tower with pyramid roof and external staircase. The aqueduct
was built to replace Brindley's famous aqueduct of c.1760
and is in itself a considerable feat of engineering.
