Lumb Brook Bridge (An Aqueduct)

Lumb Brook Bridge is an aqueduct that carries the Bridgewater Canal, built in 1770 by James Brindley for the Duke of Bridgewater. The structure is made of squared snecked Cyclopean blocks of red and yellow sandstone, with red brick lining for the deep segmental arch that spans Lumb Brook Road. The abutments are slightly concave, broadly canted, and battered. There is a ramped path leading from the road to the towpath, featuring sandstone retaining walls and a simple post-and-rail fence. A curved brick parapet wall, which has six rectangular recessed panels on the outer side and concrete coping (likely rebuilt in the mid-20th century), protects the towpath.

Additionally, a semicircular arched sandstone culvert carries Lumb Brook diagonally beneath the road through the aqueduct. The northern half of the aqueduct is located in Stockton Heath civil parish.
