Making Rennie's 1796 Lune aqueduct watertight again Available to Purchase

The Lune aqueduct carries the Lancaster Canal across the River Lune north of Lancaster, UK. It is a magnificent, monumental, five-span, masonry structure constructed between 1793 and 1796 under the direction of John Rennie. The Lancaster Canal between Tewitfield and Preston was opened to navigation on 22 November 1797. The aqueduct is now a grade I listed structure and forms part of the estate of the Canal & River Trust. Over the past few years leakage from the canal trough and approach channels had increased and become very serious. This paper describes recent work undertaken to seal the trough and channels and hence preserve the integrity of the structure into the future.
