Description
The Cromford Canal Embankment is a canal embankment built in 1793 by William Jessop and Benjamin Outram. It is constructed from coursed squared stone and measures approximately 100 feet long and 40 feet high. The embankment features stone retaining walls that have a plain band near the base and rounded rubble copings. There is a central barrel vaulted tunnel that runs through the embankment, supported by rubble arches and buttress-like jambs at the entrances. The southern end of the embankment was truncated during road widening operations in the 1970s.
