Description

The Stakes Aqueduct and tow-path bridge, also known as the Aqueduct Bridge, was built in 1800 and designed by engineer Benjamin Outram. It was cast at Butterley Iron Works and features a cast iron trough aqueduct alongside a hump-backed tow-path bridge. The aqueduct consists of rectangular cast iron sections that were fabricated on-site and bolted together, each with a large tension flange, a small compression flange, and webbed side flanges. The ends of the aqueduct include stop plank housings. In 1875, remedial measures were taken to use the stone arch of the tow-path bridge to support the aqueduct mid-span. The tow-path bridge has an elliptical arch, a stone band, and a hump-backed parapet with round-topped copings, half of which has been rebuilt to create a level parapet. A built-in mile stone indicates "191 miles" and there is also a benchmark. This aqueduct replaced an earlier stone aqueduct from 1795 and is among the earliest iron trough aqueducts in Britain.
