Nantwich Aqueduct, Navigable aqueduct in Acton, England.
The Nantwich Aqueduct stretches across Chester Road with a cast-iron arch spanning 29 feet and features stone-dressed brick abutments with curved walls.
Thomas Telford designed this transportation structure in 1826 as part of the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal system, now known as Shropshire Union Canal.
The structure represents early 19th-century engineering methods with its cast iron trough construction and specific design elements found in only two other aqueducts.
The water channel measures 13 feet in width, complemented by 4-foot-wide towpaths on each side for pedestrian and maintenance access.
The aqueduct received recognition at the Canal & River Trust's Living Waterways Awards in 2016 following extensive restoration work completed in 2015.
