Leeds and Liverpool Canal, Aqueduct over Yorkshire Street
The Burnley Embankment, known locally as "The Straight Mile", carries The Leeds and Liverpool Canal 60ft above the town.
When the canal was being built here at the end of the eighteenth century, Robert Whitworth, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal Company Engineer decided that an embankment, almost a mile long and up to sixty feet high, straight to the opposite hillside should be built rather than having the canal take a long detour following the contours around the valley, Although it was costly to construct, it meant the valley could be traversed by the canal without the need for two systems of locks.
Half-way along the embankment, the canal crosses Yorkshire Street on an aqueduct, known locally as ‘t’Culvert’ https://gerryco23.wordpress.com/2010/04/28/walking-the-canal-accrington-burnley-and-nelson/ . It was constructed in 1926 to replace the original one built in the 1790s.
