Apethorn Aqueduct over lane to former Gibraltar Mill, Hyde, 19 Feb 2006. Viewed from the offside of the canal. On the left-hand side, there was once a coal chute from the canal, which was used to load carts with coal. This is an important feature of the canal and it is known that Thomas Brown, the Resident Engineer, personally oversaw its construction during 1795 and 1796. Here the canal follows a double continuous curve in order to cross over a deep vale, the aqueduct being necessary to maintain access to the former Gibraltar Mill. |
