* The canal passes over the River Tame on Stakes Aqueduct (also known as Stalybridge Aqueduct). The canal is carried in a cast-iron trough while the towpath crosses an arched stone bridge alongside. The aqueduct was built in 1800, replacing the original stone aqueduct, damaged by flooding, and was one of the earliest cast iron canal troughs in the country.
