Description

The Darnall Canal Aqueduct, built in 1819, carries the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal and features adjoining raised footways. It is likely designed by canal engineer William Chapman. The structure is made of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings. It has a simple entablature with a dentilled cornice and a parapet wall that has chamfered coping. The central segmental arch spans a sunken road, with smaller round arches on either side that cover the raised footways. To the southwest, there is a smaller round-arched culvert that carries Kirkbridge Dike. The spandrel walls on the southeast front curve forward, while the northwest face is adjacent to a later 19th-century iron railway bridge. The canal itself was opened in 1819.
