TEME AQUEDUCT AT NGR SO5370368807

The Teme Aqueduct, built in 1789 by Thomas Dadford, is a Grade II listed structure that spans the River Teme. It was designed to carry the now disused Stourport to Kington canal. The aqueduct is constructed from coursed rubble stone, ashlar, and brick. It features a single segmental arch on the south bank of the river, with two standing arches located to the north. The brick arch is supported by ashlar voussoirs and a springer stone, while the top of the arch has been replaced with brick. The structure includes stone cutwaters and side walls, as well as a brick parapet that shows remnants of ashlar coping. Below the parapet, there are star-shaped iron tie-rod ends. At the time of the survey, the canal channel and parapet were heavily overgrown. This aqueduct is one of the last significant remnants of the Kington and Leominster Canal in Shropshire.
