EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from Yorkshire Street in Burnley, Lancashire, showcases the striking contrast between the old and new Leeds and Liverpool Canal aqueducts. The image transports us back in time, evoking the nostalgic charm of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The old aqueduct, a testament to engineering prowess of the past, gracefully arches over the River Calder, its aged stones weathered by the elements. Built in the early 19th century, this aqueduct once played a crucial role in the transportation of goods and raw materials between the industrial powerhouses of Leeds and Liverpool. In stark contrast, the new aqueduct, a modern marvel of the early 20th century, can be seen in the background. Its sleek, curved design, a departure from the traditional arched structures, effectively addresses the challenges posed by the hilly terrain and the need for efficient water management. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective of Burnley's rich industrial heritage. The juxtaposition of the old and new structures not only highlights the progression of engineering and technology but also serves as a poignant reminder of the passage of time.
