Kings Cross Railway Aqueduct 
Chapel Down, Goods Way, London N1C 4UR, United Kingdom
Kings Cross Railway Aqueduct carries a footpath over the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) near to Redcar Boat Lift.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Regent's Canal) between Luton and Reigate were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Benjamin Outram was appointed as secretary to the board in 1888. From a junction with The Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal at Newley the canal ran for 17 miles to Kirklees. Expectations for pottery traffic to Tendring were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Jones's "A Very Special Boat" he describes his experiences passing through Sheffield Locks during a thunderstorm.
