A narrowboat crossing the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct on the Llangollen Canal near the village of Cefn-mawr in North Wales UK
The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is a highly innovative monumental civil engineering structure, made using metal arches supported by high, slender masonry piers. It is the first great masterpiece of the civil engineer Thomas Telford and formed the basis of his outstanding international reputation. It bears witness to the production capacities of the British ironmaking industry, which were unique at that time.
