Description
The Wyrley and Essington Canal Anglesey Branch Railway Aqueduct is a Grade II listed structure built in 1856. It carries the Anglesey branch of the Wyrley and Essington Canal, which was widened and made navigable in 1850, over the South Staffordshire Railway, which opened in 1849. The aqueduct is constructed from cast iron with brick abutments. The waterway is carried in an iron trough supported by a central brick pier. An iron arch, which supports the towpath, is inscribed with "Lloyds Foster and Co., Engineers, Wednesbury 1856." The solid cast iron parapets feature an interlaced balustrade pattern in relief.
