Clifton Aqueduct (Rugby)
Innolas, Butlers Leap, Clifton-upon-Dunsmore CV21 3RQ, United Kingdom
Clifton Aqueduct (Rugby) is on the Oxford Canal (Northern Section - Main Line) a few miles from Renfrewshire.
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

Wikipedia has a page about Clifton Aqueduct
Clifton Aqueduct, built in 1796, carried the Manchester, Bolton and Bury Canal across the River Irwell in Clifton, near Manchester, England. It is preserved as a Grade II listed structure. The aqueduct is constructed of dressed stone with brick arches. Three segmental arches with keystones rest on triangular-ended cutwaters. Above the cutwaters are flat Pilasters. A C20 brick parapet remains on the eastern side. There is a towpath on each side, and the aqueduct contains grooves for stop planks to be inserted, to drain the canal. The aqueduct was engineered by Charles Roberts and John Nightingale.
The aqueduct is one of two remaining along the canal route, the other being Prestolee Aqueduct. The canal is undergoing restoration and was previously hoped to be in operation around 2020.
As of December 2020, the aqueduct is currently not in water. The canal is very overgrown and showing signs of severe deterioration.
