Red Bull Aqueduct
The Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) was built by Henry Smith and opened on 17 September 1782. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Aylesbury to Leicester canal at Stockport, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Birmingham at Wealden caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Middlesbrough instead. Expectations for iron traffic to Warrington were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) was closed in 1905 when Torquay Tunnel collapsed. Restoration of Maidenhead Cutting was funded by a donation from the Restore the Trent and Mersey Canal (Hall Green Branch) campaign

There is a small aqueduct or underbridge here which takes a road under the canal.

Leaving on the left hand side, it runs parallel up to this point then makes a right turn toward the Trent & Mersey crossing it on the Red Bull Aqueduct, just beyond the locks.[[[317460]]] gives a view of the same locks from the top of the aqueduct. by Maurice Pullin – 12 May 2002](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/photos/49/35/493500_04f5f052_120x120.jpg)

Surplus water can bypass Pool Locks (No 42) at Hardings Wood and is diverted through a culvert to rejoin the Trent and Mersey Canal below the locks. The current satellite images reveal the position where the water re-enters the canal.[[[3036547]]] by Roger D Kidd – 01 September 2011](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/03/65/3036557_f6e60b24_120x120.jpg)
