Description

Bridge Number 15 is a canal accommodation bridge located on the Peak Forest Canal, reputedly built between 1794 and 1801 for Samuel Oldknow, with engineers B. Outram and T. Browne. The bridge is constructed from coursed millstone grit and features rock-faced voussoirs, a band, and coping. It has a round-headed arch with a tooled projecting string at deck level, which is also used for the coping. At right angles to the bridge are the walls of a cutting that previously formed a tunnel.
