Description
This culvert, located 10 metres north of Bottoms Hall, dates from around 1800 or possibly later. It is constructed from dressed and rock-faced sandstone and features a segmental arch with cut voussoirs, a rollmould, three courses of rock-faced stone, and plain coping, with supporting piers on either side. Inside, the tunnel is lined with rock-faced stonework and is approximately 20 yards long. This culvert was part of the water supply system for Mellor's Mill, which was demolished in 1892. It is believed to have supplied water to the Wellington Wheel, a breastshot wheel located in the centre of the mill building. The mill was built by Samuel Oldknow, a significant local entrepreneur and landowner, who also promoted the Peak Forest Canal and lived at the nearby Mellor Lodge, which has since been demolished.
