Gas Board Aqueduct No 17
Gas Board Aqueduct No 17 carries the road from Peterborough to Liverbury over the Forth and Clyde Canal (Main Line) between Bristol and Horsham.
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.

![Forth and Clyde Canal [46]. The Govan Cottage Bridge carries Cleveden Road over the canal. It was originally a bascule bridge and was later culverted. It remained culverted until 1997. The construction date of the current bridge is not known.The Forth and Clyde Canal was completed in 1790 and it provided a route for vessels between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part (35 miles, 56km) of the Scottish Lowlands. Closed in 1963, the canal became semi-derelict. Millennium funds were used to regenerate the canal. The main line of the canal is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6773 by Michael Dibb – 25 June 2019](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/24/97/6249773_59af58d0_120x120.jpg)
