Description
The Wyre Aqueduct is a structure that carries the Lancaster Canal over the River Wyre. It was opened in 1797 and designed by engineer John Rennie. The aqueduct is constructed from sandstone blocks, arranged in bands that alternate between rock-faced and furrowed textures. The abutments are concave in shape and battered. It features a single elliptical arch, with a band surrounding the voussoirs. Below the solid parapet, there is an entablature that includes a dentilled cornice. Above the arch, the frieze is interrupted by a blank panel that has a moulded border. Part of this aqueduct is located in Garstang.
