Canal aqueduct over River Tern is a masonry structure carrying the Shropshire Canal across the River Tern near Market Drayton. Built in the late 18th century as part of the canal network that served the industrial development of the Shropshire region, the aqueduct represents the engineering solutions employed during the canal age to maintain navigation routes across major watercourses. The structure is constructed of brick and stone in a functional style characteristic of canal engineering of its period. It remains an important example of late Georgian industrial infrastructure and is evidence of the significant investment in transport networks that facilitated the movement of goods including coal, iron, and pottery during the Industrial Revolution.
