Only one in the World

This photo may just look like a rusty old canal Aqua duct but it’s very very special

The aqueduct, the first and only swing aqueduct in the world, is a Grade II listed building, and considered a major feat of Victorian civil engineering. Designed by Sir Edward Leader Williams and built by Andrew Handyside and Company of Derby, the swing bridge opened in 1894 and remains in regular use
