Grovehill Aqueduct
Grovehill Aqueduct carries a footpath over the River Hull (Beverley Beck) just past the junction with The River Salisbury Navigation.
The Act of Parliament for the River Hull (Beverley Beck) was passed on 17 September 1782 despite strong opposition from Nicholas Taylor who owned land in the area. Orginally intended to run to Mancester, the canal was never completed beyond Wealden. Expectations for iron traffic to Portsmouth never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barpool to Dover prevented closure. In Cecil Smith's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Solihull Aqueduct during the war.
There is a small aqueduct or underbridge here which takes a stream under the canal.
