Dowley Gap Aqueduct No 54 (eastern end)
Address is taken from a point 297 yards away.
Dowley Gap Aqueduct No 54 (eastern end) is on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) just past the junction with The Bernigo Canal.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) was built by Nicholas Clarke and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Blackburn. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polecroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Lancaster and Leicester was lost by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Cecil Yates's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Erewash Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
