Description
The eastern entrance to the Barnton Tunnel on the Trent and Mersey Canal was built in 1777 by James Brindley for the Trent and Mersey Canal Company. It features a canal tunnel entrance arch made of stone-dressed washed brick. The facade is curving and has a parabolic stone entrance arch at its center. A plain band runs at ground level, supporting a plain parapet with rounded stone coping. The ends of the arch are marked by stone pilasters. In the center of the bridge, there is a stone plaque that reads "BARNTON TUNNEL" in 20th-century script.
