Holliday Street Aqueduct, Cast iron navigable aqueduct in central Birmingham, England
The Holliday Street Aqueduct spans across Holliday Street with three channels, featuring towpaths on its western side for canal navigation purposes.
Built in 1870, this Grade II listed structure carries the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, marking an important development in the Industrial Revolution transportation network.
The aqueduct represents Victorian engineering excellence through its cast iron construction and remains an essential component of Birmingham's industrial heritage.
Located near the Worcester Bar stop lock, the structure provides passage for boats while allowing pedestrian traffic on Holliday Street below.
In 2015, emergency repairs were conducted when a hole discovered in the canal bed required temporary dams and complete drainage of the affected section.
