Red Bull Aqueduct

Red Bull Aqueduct is a canal aqueduct that carries the Macclesfield Canal branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal over Liverpool Road in Church Lawton. It was built in 1828 and is constructed from red and blue English bond brick with ashlar dressings.

The west side features a central archway with a cambered arch, flanked by ashlar quoins and chamfered ashlar voussoirs. The tunnel roof is lined with similarly chamfered stone. Above the archway is a rectangular datestone with a raised border, inscribed "RED BULL/AQUEDUCT/MDCCCXXVIII". The retaining walls on either side are battered and curve slightly forward, with pilaster buttresses at each end. A large roll-moulding separates the main body of the bridge from the ashlar parapet. Beyond the pilaster buttresses, the retaining walls decrease in height and curve around to run parallel to the road, ending in low square piers topped with pyramidal ashlar caps. The east side of the aqueduct is similar in design. This branch of the Macclesfield Canal was owned by the Trent and Mersey Canal Company and constructed by their engineers.
