Looking over Dog Lane aqueduct
Dog Lane aqueduct, on the Macclesfield Canal, gets its name from a short road that leads from Canal Road (under the aqueduct) to the canal behind the camera. It is a Thomas Telford designed cast iron trough aqueduct supported by stone piers and embellished with cast iron railings.
The Macclesfield Canal was one of the last narrow canals to be built and runs approximately 28 miles from Harding's Wood Junction on the Trent and Mersey Canal, along the edge of the western Pennine hills to Marple Junction on the Peak Forest Canal. It was surveyed by Thomas Telford with construction starting in 1826, with William Crosley doing the engineering. The canal opened in November 1831 having cost a total of £320,000.
