LIVESEY Canal aqueduct over Roddlesworth Water

II Aqueduct carrying Leeds-Liverpool Canal over Roddlesworth Water, 1811-14, supervising engineers Joseph and James Fletcher, contractors Hiram Craven and Samuel Whitaker (masons of Keighley).

Canal is carried on long embankment pierced by an egg-shaped culvert with stone faced abutments, which is the listed item. Rusticated rock-faced sandstone. Walls curve inwards to give semicircular plan, are strongly battered and rise in a continuous curve over the mouth of the culvert; low piers at the outer ends, radiating masonry with a keystone over the arch flanked by buttressing piers and crossed at the top by a projecting band. Some decoration visible: band stones have punched faces, and those parts of the buttresses not concealed by moss appear to have simple vermiculated patterns.
