Wolverton iron trunk aqueduct is a cast iron water conveyance structure constructed in the early nineteenth century to carry the Grand Junction Canal across the River Great Ouse at Wolverton in Buckinghamshire. The aqueduct exemplifies the engineering innovations of the canal age, employing cast iron construction rather than traditional masonry to span the river whilst maintaining the canal's navigable water level. Built between 1811 and 1832, the structure reflects the industrial advancement and canal network expansion characteristic of the Napoleonic Wars period and its aftermath. The aqueduct remains a significant example of early nineteenth-century civil engineering and represents an important development in canal infrastructure design and construction techniques.
