Marple Aqueduct is a masonry structure carrying the Peak Forest Canal across the River Goyt in Cheshire. Built between 1800 and 1802, it was designed by engineer Benjamin Outram and represents an important example of early nineteenth-century canal infrastructure. The aqueduct consists of a single arched span of approximately fifty feet, constructed in stone to convey the canal's water channel above the river valley. Its design and execution demonstrate the engineering advancement of the Romantic period, when ambitious canal schemes were reshaping the landscape of industrial England.
