Шаблон:Stratford Canal Aqueduct map Edstone Aqueduct is one of three aqueducts on a Шаблон:Convert length of the Stratford-upon-Avon Canal in Warwickshire. All are unusual in that the towpaths are at the level of the canal bottom. At Шаблон:Convert,[1] Edstone is the longest cast iron aqueduct in England.[2] It crosses a minor road, a stream, and a field, a railway line (the North Warwickshire Line) and the trackbed of the disused Alcester branch line. There was once a pipe from the side of the canal that enabled steam locomotives to draw water to fill their tanks.[3]
The aqueduct was completed in 1816 and is an early example of a prefabricated structure. Its cast iron trough is formed of 35 separate sections bolted together, which sits on thirteen brick piers, creating 14 spans. The trough is Шаблон:Convert wide, and Шаблон:Convert deep. The towpath is set level with the base of the trough, which is a somewhat unusual design feature.[4]
The aqueduct is a Grade II* listed structure.[5]
