Stanley Ferry Lane Aqueduct
Recorded: 24/02/2019
Aqueduct carrying the Aire and Calder Navigation over River Calder, built 1837-39; 160 ft. long and 24 ft. wide, with a continuous Doric colonnade and believed to be the first iron suspension aqueduct in the world. Today it is bypassed but the original canal basin with a stone office remains, at the end of a horse-drawn tramway called the Nagger Lines which brought coal from local collieries
