Majors green aqueduct, shirley.
6 comments:
It's rather easier to see this aqueduct from low level from the road (Aqueduct Road)! Easier still on Google Streetview .
This aquaduct is actually located in Shirley (and not Earlswood) and carries the S-o-A canal over the River Cole and Aquaduct Road. On the canal it is located between the drawbridge pub (and the actual drawbridge), Shirley and the bridge conveying High Street, Solihull Lodge, over the canal.
...and the feeder from Earlswood Lakes actually connects to the S-o-A canal at the rear of Earlswood Motor Yacht Club
Thanks for the extra facts - its sometimes difficult to get even a name for these obscure aqueducts!
Sorry, I didn't explain myself very well at all. The aquaduct is actually nothing at all to do with earlswood lakes and is located near to the junction of Aquaduct Road and Peterbrook Road, Majors Green, Shirley. I know it as Shirley Aquaduct; it is also known as Majors Green Aquaduct. Some brief information, including its location is given at http://www.canalplan.org.uk/gazetteer/kbvg Earlswood Lakes are located about 3 miles from the aquaduct. They are fed via a tributary from the River Blythe and feed the S-o-A canal via a feeder which runs from Engine Pool to terminate at the canal at the rear of Earlswood Motor Yacht Club / Lady Lane Wharf as detailed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earlswood_Lakes Hope that helps and sorry for any confusion
and this page details the feeder :- http://www.canalplan.org.uk/gazetteer/oiei

Earlswood Lakes Sailing Club
Website: www.earlswoodsc.co.uk Email: [email protected]
Earlswood Lakes took five years to construct in the early 1800s.. They were built at the summit level of the nearby Stratford on Avon Canal, to provide a water source which would keep the canal topped up. There are three lakes in the system; Engine Pool, the Windmill Pool, which is where we sail, and Terry’s Pool. Entry to the club is between houses 36 and 40 on Malthouse lane (see view below) Please drive slowly on this shared drive.

40m Baglietto motor yacht Club M joins market for first time
The 39.8-metre Baglietto motor yacht Club M has joined the market for the first time with Will Christie and Felix Sowerbutts of Christie Yachts.
Built in aluminium by Italian yard Baglietto and delivered in 2020, Club M is a multi-award winner having picked up "Best motor yacht 40-50m" at the 2021 World Superyacht Awards and "Best motor yacht interior design under 499GT" at the same year's Design & Innovation Awards .
Club M's contemporary exterior, with high freeboard, is by Horacio Bozzo Design and the "intricate" interior design is by Salvagni Architetti , who incorporated curved surfaces, in a refreshing break from the norm, and top Italian brands. She was designed for an owner with 30 years of boating experience who spent three years on the design process, visiting and sounding out designers and yards in Europe. He also drew on his own knowledge gained in developments in the real estate industry.
Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in five cabins, the master cabin on the main deck benefitting from a substantial extending balcony to starboard that the broker pointed out would normally only be found on a much bigger yacht. Guest cabins are located on the lower deck, one of which is presently configured as a gym but has two Pullman beds built in and an en suite bathroom. There are quarters for a crew of six in three cabins.
Guests can enjoy reclining on sunpads or socialising on ample seating around tables on the expansive forward part of the upper deck, which has uninterrupted flow to and from the guest spaces aft, where a bar is located, along with more sunpads and protected lounge seating. A glass-sided Jacuzzi aft gives views of the yacht's wake, while the beach club down at sea level is also claimed to be typical of that found on a larger yacht.
The 392GT, Lloyd's Register-classed yacht for sale has a maximum speed of 17.5 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots, giving a cruising range of 3,500 nautical miles under twin 1,600hp Caterpillar engines. Wing stations that extend outboard, a garage with integrated cranes and side boarding ladder all contribute to efficient operations. Hidden ladders allow crew members to access decks without disturbing guests, privacy being high on the owner's design brief.
The broker pointed out that sound and vibration levels are low, "super-sized" fin stabilisers make for guest comfort and summed up that “the level of detail on this yacht is really quite remarkable and has to be seen in person to be truly appreciated. Club M is independently acknowledged as one of the finest yachts to have been built in recent years."
Lying in Florida, USA, Club M is asking €21,500,000 and will be on display at the Palm Beach International Boat Show.
