Description
Canal fence posts, c1840, erected alongside the Macclesfield Canal. Local sandstone
LOCATION: The fence posts are located along the outside edge of the tow path on the north-west side of the Macclesfield Canal approximately between SJ8803362509 and SJ8793762377. At these points the canal is located on a high embankment over Dane-in-Shaw Brook opposite the Dane-in-Shaw railway viaduct.
DESCRIPTION: The fence posts, of which 38 are visible, are constructed of local sandstone and are formed of roughly-hewn, tapered slabs. The posts are approximately 1-1.5 metres high and are each pierced by two railing slots. A small number of the posts are damaged at the top, but most are intact. The fence posts are evenly spaced, although some in the line are missing.
