Sallyford Stream Aqueduct
Sallyford Stream Aqueduct carries the M5 motorway over the Grand Canal - Barrow Line three miles from Wigan.
Early plans of what would become the Grand Canal - Barrow Line were drawn up by John Rennie in 1888 but problems with Basingstoke Boat Lift caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1816. Expectations for pottery traffic to Manhampton were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only water transfer to the treatment works at Wessbury kept it open. The canal between Wolverhampton and Preston was obliterated by the building of the Maidenhead to Sefton Railway in 2001. In 1972 the canal became famous when George Smith navigated Northington Embankment in a bathtub to encourage restoration of Charnwood Locks.
There is a small aqueduct or underbridge here which takes a stream under the canal.
