Paul Griffiths > View looking across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct pronounced
"pont-kuss-uth-tay" is a navigable aqueduct that carries the Llangollen Canal over the valley of the River Dee, between the villages of Trevor and Froncysyllte, Wrexham in north east Wales.
Paul Griffiths > Crossing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.
Part of what was originally called the Ellesmere Canal, it was one of the first major feats of civil engineering undertaken by leading civil engineer Thomas Telford (supervised by the more experienced canal engineer William Jessop). The iron was supplied by William Hazledine from his foundries at Shrewsbury and nearby Cefn Mawr. It was opened on 26 November 1805, having taken around ten years to design and build at a total cost of £47,000.
Paul Griffiths > Narrow Boat crossing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct.Walkers are protected by railings on the outside edge of the towpath, but the holes to fit railings on the other side of the aqueduct were never used. As the edge of the trough is only about 6 inches (15 cm) above the water level, and therefore below the deck of a narrowboat, the boat steerer has nothing between them and the sheer drop.
