Description
The Bridgetown Aqueduct is an aqueduct for the Bude Canal that spans a stream known as Tala Water. It was built around 1838 or 1839 and is made of stone rubble, featuring a renewed brick segmental arch. The parapet on the south side is also constructed of stone rubble. At the time of inspection, the narrow aqueduct was heavily overgrown, and the construction of the banks for the canal was unclear. The Bude Canal itself was opened in 1823, but the original aqueduct was destroyed by floods in 1838, making this structure a replacement.
