Drawing of the original Barton Aqueduct, by Richard Bagot, with Barton Bridge and churches behind. This is looking from the original Barton Lock, built alongside a weir. The River Irwell flows from the weir into the left arches while a separate navigation channel runs from the lock to the right-hand arch.
