Constructed in 1818 by William Crosley based on the original designs by John Rennie, the Sedgwick Aqueduct serves the purpose of carrying the elevated segment of the Lancaster Kendal Canal over the road connecting Sedgwick and Natland.

It stands out as an uncommon example of a skewed bridge, a change from the conventional perpendicular orientation of most canal bridges to the roads they cross.

This design innovation eliminates the need for a bend in the road. To maintain structural integrity, a winding arrangement of stones was employed, achieving the smallest span possible.
