Deepdale Aqueduct (That Part In Barnard Castle Civil Parish)

Deepdale Aqueduct, located in Barnard Castle, is a Grade II listed structure built in 1898, as indicated by a plaque from the founder. The aqueduct, designed by engineers Head Wrighton & Co. Ltd from Thornaby on Tees, was constructed for the Stockton and Middlesbrough Water Board. It features cast-iron aqueduct and footbridge parapets, along with rock-faced stone steps and piers, all designed in a castle style.

The structure includes two pairs of round cast-iron piers with plinths on stone bases, which have label moulding beneath plain capitals and support the beams of the deck. At the east end, there are octagonal piers that feature a corbel table and a coped parapet. The parapet walls rise from the piers and connect to tall octagonal turrets, which have battlemented parapets and are accessed by stone steps from the footbridge. Wrought-iron lattice parapets flank the water pipe and support the timber deck of the footbridge, which is elevated above the water pipe.
