Aqueduct and Viaduct from England to Wales
Chirk Aqueduct is a 70-foot (21 m) high and 710-foot (220 m) long navigable aqueduct that carries what is now the Llangollen Canal across the Ceiriog Valley near Chirk, on the England-Wales border, spanning the two countries.
The aqueduct was designed by civil engineer Thomas Telford, and the foundation stone was laid on 17 June 1796 and it was completed in 1801. It has a cast iron trough within which the water is contained. The masonry walls hide the cast iron interior. This aqueduct was a forerunner of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, also on the Llangollen Canal. The aqueduct was briefly the tallest navigable one ever built, and it now is Grade II* listed in both England and Wales. It forms part of the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct World Heritage Site.The entrance to Chirk Tunnel can be seen at the end of the aqueduct.

The workman in the PiP is using a die to create a screw thread in order that the blacksmith can manufacture a tap to repair the cast iron uprights of the aqueduct fence. Unfortunately my camera ran out of battery when the blacksmith was working.
