Description
The western entrance to the Saltersford Tunnel on the Trent and Mersey Canal was constructed in 1777 by James Brindley for the Trent and Mersey Canal Company. It was restored and reopened in 1984. The entrance features a canal tunnel arch made of partly washed English bond blue brick with red sandstone dressings. The curving facade includes an elliptical stone arch at its center. A plain band runs at ground level, supporting a plain parapet with rounded coping. The structure is finished with stone pilasters at both ends.
