  1. Bears inscription. "This arch was rebuilt in the year 1682. Honerable Henry Earle of Clarendon Being Gov." Long tunnel over canal, barrel vaulted brick, mostly pinky-yellow stock brick, probably early Cl9. The arch ring at one end is of Portland stone, inscribed as above with a fine shield of arms with mantling helm and crest of Myddelton. Capping over plain parapet. Historical interest. The tunnel carries the Salmons Brook beneath the New River. Above tunnel on north- west side a stone with inscription: "This bank of earth was raised and formed to support the Channel of the New River. And the frame of timber and lead which served that purpose 173 years was removed and taken away. MDCCLXXXVI Peter Holford Esquire, Governor." These are part of the works of the New River, founded in 1613 by Sir Hugh Myddelton in order to bring a purer water supply to London.
