1. View from
the aqueduct footbridge eastwards along Dearne Valley. |
2. This is
a view of the aqueduct footbridge taken from the north bank of the River
Dearne. An illusion of wooded countryside, but the Dearne Valley here
is not far from houses and industrial sites. It serves as a green corridor
in the midst of urbanisation. |

3. At the
point where the Barnsley and Dearne & Dove Canals met. These are ruins
of old canal buildings. |
4. The wooden
footbridge. |
5. On the
southbank, the steps down to the footbridge. |
6. On the
northbank looking northwards along the canal route. |
7. The aqueduct during demolition. |
8. Another view
of the aqueduct before demolition. |
|
A stretch of the canal is still in water in a pleasant setting on the southern side of the River Dearne. The aqueduct itself has been replaced by a wooden bridge set on the original footings of the aqueduct. The Barnsley Canal and the Dearne and Dove Canal meet just by the aqueduct |
