What is recorded here
This stone commemorative plaque records: This arch originally formed part of the famous Barton Aqueduct, and spanned this road at a point 15 yards east of this tablet. It was removed to allow of Barton Lane being widened in 1893. And re-erected in its present position in 1894 by the Eccles Corporation.
