Description

The aqueduct at NGR ST 1468 2234 is a Grade II listed structure that was built around 1828 by James Green. It formerly carried the Grand Western Canal over the River Tone but is now disused. The aqueduct is constructed from squared and coursed sandstone with dressed voussoirs. It features a very flat single arch span and a continuous string course, although little of the parapet above remains. The walls are swept back on either side to piers, which are obscured by ivy as noted during a survey in January 1985, and the southeastern pier is missing.

Local climate

Aqueduct at Ngr St 1468 2234 receives an average of 830 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 54% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 57% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 61% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
