Moss Hall Aqueduct 
Address is taken from a point 655 yards away.
Moss Hall Aqueduct carries the road from Barford to Salisbury over the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Poole and Salford.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring pins are needed.
There is a small aqueduct or underbridge here which takes a river under the canal.

![The River Weaver near Audlem, Cheshire. Taken from the Shropshire Union Canal towpath a few metres south of the aqueduct. Compare this sun drenched scene with one taken a few minutes earlier: [[[1703291]]]The River Weaver just over 50 miles (80 km) long. Its source is in the hills of west Cheshire near Peckforton Castle, from where it flows in a south-easterly direction towards the border with Shropshire, fed by tributaries some of which rise in north Shropshire. It flows through the village of Wrenbury, then passes near Audlem, where it starts to flow approximately northwards across the Cheshire Plain towards Nantwich, then Northwich, then north-westwards across north Cheshire.Wiki says:](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/70/32/1703284_65161d19_120x120.jpg)

![Audlem: looking down the River Weaver from Moss Hall Aqueduct. In a style characteristic of the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction canal that here forms part of the Shropshire Union, the canal north of Audlem strides confidently over the Weaver valley on a tall embankment and aqueduct. The B&LJ was the last-completed narrow canal trunk route and Telford's confident engineering here is a world away from the meandering canals of the early waterway era.For the same view in winter, with the river swollen by rain, see [[1967771]]. by Christopher Hilton – 03 June 2016](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/03/76/5037616_0bfcd7d2_120x120.jpg)
