SJ 98 NE MARPLE PEAK FOREST CANAL

7/141 No. 18 - (Posset Bridge)

G.V. II

Bridge and horse tunnel. 1804. Benjamin Outram and Thomas Brown engineers. Rock-faced and dressed sandstone with ashlar dressings. Three openings: one the canal, one a branch to the lime kilns (now blocked) and a horse tunnel, there is also a boatman's passage giving access from pound level to the upper level. The 2 canal arches are skew, semi- circular and have keystones. A battered pier separates them and a band is largely obscured by a C20 footbridge. The parapets (some of which are missing) are of ashlar blocks with rounded tops. The horse tunnel is a compressed horseshoe arch with keystone, stone band and square piers to either side.
