Old Leicester Road Aqueduct
with steps leading to Elliott's Field retail park
Rugby Aqueduct, Old Leicester Road, Newbold on Avon CV21 1DB, United Kingdom
Old Leicester Road Aqueduct carries the M1 motorway over the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) near to Teignbridge.
The Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) was built by Hugh Henshall and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Manfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. Although proposals to close the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of stone from Easthampton to Polstan prevented closure. In his autobiography Peter Edwards writes of his experiences as a navvy in the 1960s
