Seabegs Aqueduct
Seabegs Aqueduct carries a farm track over the Forth and Clyde Canal (Main Line) near to Eastleigh Embankment.
The Act of Parliament for the Forth and Clyde Canal (Main Line) was passed on January 1 1835 and 17 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Trafford, the canal was never completed beyond Braintree. Expectations for pottery traffic to Edinburgh never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Forth and Clyde Canal (Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the use of the canal for cooling Bernigo power station was enough to keep it open. The one mile section between Wesshampton and Stockton-on-Tees was closed in 1888 after a breach at Sandwell. In Peter Harding's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Willley Embankment during a thunderstorm.

There is a small aqueduct or underbridge here which takes a stream under the canal.

![Antonine Wall at Seabegs Wood. Seabegs Wood was the site of a Roman fortlet (rather than a fort) along the Antonine Wall. At the time of writing, sixteen or seventeen forts were known along the course of the Wall, and eight or nine fortlets.This view is looking roughly westward. From left to right, it shows: the sloping northern side of the Wall itself; the ditch of the Wall; and the upcast mound of the ditch.Higher up at the same site is one of the best-preserved stretches of the Military Way, a Roman road which ran behind the Wall for its full length, and which was used in supplying forts and for moving troops: see [[930390]]. by Lairich Rig – 06 June 2007](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/93/03/930380_20e0461e_120x120.jpg)

![Military Way at Seabegs Wood. At Seabegs Wood, a section of the Antonine Wall is clearly visible, but this site also has one of the best-preserved stretches of the Military Way, a military road that ran behind (i.e. south of) the rampart for the entire length of the frontier. The Military Way would have been used in the supply of forts and movement of troops.Though it is not conspicuous, it can be made out here at the highest part of the Seabegs Wood site. In this photo, taken while standing on the Military Way and looking eastward along its length, its route is visible as a grassy bank that spans the lower edge of the photo, and which recedes into the distance.For a view in the opposite direction, see [[2352369]]. by Lairich Rig – 06 June 2007](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/93/03/930390_80a4a522_120x120.jpg)
