The River in the Sky. A World Heritage Site, 10 minutes from my home.

A few weeks ago I enjoyed some great uploads by @livinguktaiwan 

I was asked by reply if I ever posted anything normal. 

When I stopped shivering at the thought.

I had a light bulb moment.
I am seeing stuff in my own backyard that fellow Hivians probably don't even know exists.

Here is Normal.

###### Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Trevor Basin

Due to the abandonment in the early 19th C. of a proposed canal extension onwards to Chester the Trevor Basin became "end of the line" for the Ellesmere Canal; part of a canal system that was intended to link the Rivers Mersey and Severn.

The canal was extended westward to LLangollen, and this is now a popular, tourist route as well as being home to those that travel the waterways of Britain.

Day trips and barge rentals moored for over winter, let's see a return to normality in 2022, when these boats will once again ply their trade.

As will the pub, convenient, for all. I have visited in the summer and it gets very busy with bargees and non bargees alike.

###### The River in the Sky

A clever slogan no doubt dreamt up by some advertising executive and paid, ridiculous amounts of dosh for his troubles ( I may be in normal mode, but cynical is my middle name)

This century alone there have been seven recorded suicides and "death by stupidity" recorded of individuals falling from the aquaduct.

The slender masonry piers are partly hollow and taper at their summit.

The mortar used in the construction was made of oxen blood, lime and water. thats one hell of a lot of bovines being killed. We shall all eat heartily tonight.

World Heritage status was granted in 2009, to The Llangollen Canal, and its structures, an 11 mile stretch of waterway that straddles Wales and England.

It is the tallest navigable aquaduct in Britain and holds 330,000 gallons of water and takes two hours to drain.

Those aqueducts are so cool. I just think that those are amazing. I've never seen one except in photographs but they are really neat

>Pontcysyllte is pronounced ‘pont-kur-suck-tay’.

I'm thinking, is he pulling our leg again with that pronunciation ??!!! 😃

And even in your normal mode, you have to scare the hell out of us with that aquaduct, I'm sure I'll have jelly legs walking across it, or worse still going pass in a barge.

Great post 'normal' Grindle

thank you @livinguktaiwan , no that is the nearest translation , except in Welsh, you "roll the LL's" if that makes sense!!!

The fun starts when you are walking along, and faced with a family with a couple of small kids, and a dog on a lead 😂. and some silly old goat with a camera and tripod 🤣

@rimicane · Dec 4 '21

I don't think my brain comprehends a bridge with a canal and a pedestrian pathway. We have an aqueduct in Birmingham near the University, but three times closer to the ground 😅 I would not be able to step on the Pontcysyllte, never mind the views. 

I have googled the aqueducts and apparently, there is quite a number of them here in the UK. For example, we have got the only swing aqueduct in the world called Barton Swing! Edstone aqueduct is the longest cast iron aqueduct in England. And the Birmingham one, Ariel Aqueduct, could be the most recent one, being opened in 2011!

And, it seems that the Pontcysyllte aqueduct is also known as the ‘Stream in the Sky’! I wonder why 🤣

thanks for engaging @rimicane , yes it is quite a walk, I guess it was originally a towpath for horses to pull the barges along. Close by there are a further two viaducts across the valley for train and a further one aquaduct on the canal, not as impressive as this one though

@steevc · Dec 3 '21

None of your 'ealth 'n' safety when they built that with no barrier on the water side. I know some people would struggle with that even though they are unlikely to fall off the boat. Could be interesting when it's windy.

We do have some great industrial architecture. It's worth preserving at least some of it and the canals seem quite well used.
