Not sure what you would have seen on the video, but the #Litchfield #Canal project is fascinating. Back when a new #motorway was built round #Birmingham the builder was forced to provide an #aqueduct in anticipation of the #volunteers #raisingfunds to rebuild the canal. It sits in mid-air to this day. I drive under it regularly. Read more at:

My #MidweekMuseum recommendation today is a series of locations dotted across #Lisbon in #Portugal that together make up the Museu da Água, or #WaterMuseum. Pictured here is the impressive Águas Livres #Aqueduct (from which great views of the city can be had), the Mãe d’Água and the Reservatório da Patriarcal #reservoirs, and the latter's 400 metre long #tunnel that makes its way under the city to Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara.
