Description

Gurnett Aqueduct is a canal aqueduct located on the Macclesfield Canal, built around 1827 by Thomas Telford. The structure is made of ashlar and features two round arches. The eastern front has a road arch on the right and a stream arch at a lower level to the left. Both arches are similar, each with a central arch composed of voussoirs and a projecting keystone. The retaining walls are set at 90 degrees, with curved walling at the corners and sloping shoulders, which are capped by chamfered coping.

Local climate

Gurnett Aqueduct sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,000 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 80% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 65% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 49 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 91% of listed buildings. Of these, 28 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
