Description
The Grand Junction Aqueduct, built in 1844, carries the Tame Valley Canal over the Grand Junction Railway, which opened between Birmingham and Warrington in 1837. The structure is made of brick with sandstone dressings and features three segmental arches. These arches have chamfered voussoirs that spring from piers with chamfered quoins. A rounded band runs below the parapet, which is adorned with iron railings set between stone piers.
