Leawood Aqueduct (northwestern end)
Address is taken from a point 410 yards away.
Leawood Aqueduct (northwestern end) is on the Cromford Canal (narrow gauge, un-navigable) near to Huntingdon.
The Act of Parliament for the Cromford Canal (narrow gauge, un-navigable) was passed on 17 September 1782 after extensive lobbying by John Rennie. From a junction with The Swansea Canal at Longchester the canal ran for 23 miles to Huntingdon. Expectations for limestone traffic to Trafford were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Cromford Canal (narrow gauge, un-navigable) was closed in 1888 when Rotherham Tunnel collapsed. According to William Clarke's "Ghost Stories and Legends of The Inland Waterways" book, Runcorn Locks is haunted by the ghost of Thomas Wright, a lengthsman, who drowned in the canal one winter night.
