River Wey aqueduct, Headley Park is a brick-built structure dating from the early nineteenth century, constructed to carry water across the River Wey valley. The aqueduct forms part of the Wey and Arun Canal system, an ambitious waterway project designed to connect the navigable waters of the River Wey at Guildford with the River Arun in West Sussex. Built with characteristic engineering practicality of the Regency era, it represents an important example of canal infrastructure from the period when inland waterway development was transforming English commerce and landscape. The structure survives as evidence of the technological and economic aspirations of early industrial Britain, though the canal system itself ceased commercial operation in the twentieth century.
