Description
The Avon Aqueduct was built between 1796 and 1798 by engineers William Felkin and Charles Handley. It is made of sandstone and features a later concrete parapet with metal railings.
The aqueduct is constructed from ashlar blocks and has three wide stone arches, each with keystones. There are slightly projecting stone piers between the arches, which are supported by angular buttresses. The underside of the arches is rendered. The north-east side of the aqueduct includes a concrete parapet, while the south-west side has late 20th-century metal railings. The canal that the aqueduct carries is approximately five metres wide, and the total length of the aqueduct is 70 metres. Sandstone borders the edge of the canal, with tarmac pathways for pedestrians on either side.
