About
Marple Aqueduct is a bridge in west midlands. (Aqueduct in Greater Manchester, England.) According to Wikipedia: "Marple Aqueduct at Marple, Greater Manchester, England, was built to carry the lower level of the Peak Forest Canal across the River Goyt. It is the highest canal aqueduct in England. Construction started in 1795, and it was in use by 1800. A contractor employed to build the main canal suggested that the stone arches be replaced by iron troughs, and this idea was almost adopted, but when he left, the original idea of stone arches was adopted."
