Full Description
Wall retaining the level of the canal approximately 6m above the railway track, of irregular coursed and dressed gritstone. A 200m long section of the wall was originally built by the Manchester, Buxton, Matlock & Midland Junction Railway, to allow the railway to squeeze between the canal and the River Derwent. It was subsequently extended by approximately 500m when the line of the railway was brought closer to the canal in 1880. (1)
