Description
The aqueduct, built around 1837 and later repaired, features sandstone piers and a cast-iron channel that carries a small stream over Roade Cutting. This cutting is 65 feet deep and 1.5 miles long, representing one of the most ambitious engineering projects on Robert Stephenson's pioneering London-Birmingham railway line, which was opened in 1838.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
