Bullbridge Aqueduct, Navigable aqueduct in Derbyshire, England.

The Bullbridge Aqueduct stretched 150 feet across the Amber Valley with three distinct arches for the river, residential access, and main road passage.

George Stephenson engineered the North Midland Railway intersection with the canal at Bullbridge in 1839, marking a new era in transportation infrastructure.

The structure demonstrated British engineering capabilities during the canal construction period, connecting communities along the Cromford Canal network.

The iron tank measuring 150 feet long, 6 feet deep, and 9 feet wide allowed continuous water flow while supporting vessel traffic above.

Engineers installed the prefabricated iron tank at midnight on March 2, 1839, without interrupting canal operations during the entire construction process.

Official opening: 1840

GPS coordinates: 53.06360,-1.47160
