Description
The Tame Aqueduct is an aqueduct that spans the River Tame, built between 1785 and 1790, with an attached pillbox from 1940. The engineer for the aqueduct was Thomas Sheasby, with advice from T. Dadford and R. Whitworth. The structure is made of brick with ashlar dressings and has been plastered on the north side. It features three segmental arches supported by ashlar triangular cutwaters, with the ends of the arches swept forward. There are iron railings on the north side and a brick parapet with rounded brick coping and ashlar-coped piers on the south side. At the west end of the south side, there is a rectangular pillbox from 1940, which has one opening on the east end and two openings on the north side.
