Pool Lock Aqueduct (overbridge)
Pool Lock Aqueduct (overbridge) carries a farm track over the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) a short distance from Dundee.
Early plans of what would become the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) were drawn up by John Smeaton in 1782 but problems with Eastpool Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Nuneaton to Doncaster canal at Luton, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Solihull at Willcester caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Nantwich instead. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) was closed in 1955 when Barstone Inclined plane collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Trent and Mersey Canal (Main Line - Harding's Wood to Middlewich) Society.

There is a bridge here which takes a canal over the canal.

![Pool Lock Aqueduct near Hardings Wood, Staffordshire. This is often now thought of as part of the Macclesfield Canal, which it meets just under one mile ahead. In fact, it is short branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal. In the foreground here it is on the aqueduct which crosses the Trent and Mersey below paired Locks No 42 (there was originally only one).[[[3027855]]][[[3124986]]] by Roger D Kidd – 01 September 2011](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/17/25/3172503_cab32940_120x120.jpg)
