There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague. - Marple Aqueduct at Marple , Greater Manchester , in north - west England was built to carry the lower level of the Peak Forest Canal across a length of the River Mersey that was renamed the River Goyt in 1896 . The company 's engineer , Benjamin Outram , was responsible for the design and Thomas Brown , the resident engineer , for its construction . The construction contract was placed with William Broadhead , Bethel Furness and William Anderson in 1795 . Furness having died later in 1795 , the aqueduct was completed by the remaining partners in 1799 , but not brought into use until 1800 . Seven men lost their lives during its construction . This is the highest canal aqueduct in England and the highest masonry - arch aqueduct in Britain . The difference in water levels in the river and canal is some 90 feet ( 27.4m ) ( exceeded only by the Pontcysyllte aqueduct , an iron trough carried on stone columns , where the difference is 126 feet ( 38.4m ) ) . It contains some 8,000 cubic yards ( 6,000 m ) of masonry . The three semi-circular arches are about 78 feet ( 23.8m ) above water level , with spans of approximately 60 feet ( 18.3m ) at 72 feet ( 22m ) centres . The lower parts are of red sandstone from the nearby Hyde Bank quarry . The upper parts are of white stone from a quarry at Chapel Milton . The abutments widen in well - proportioned curves and batter or diminish upwards in the same manner . The skilful use of architectural features , such as the circular piercing of the spandrels , string courses , arch rings and pilasters of ashlar stone , oval piers and stone of different type and colour have created a graceful structure , which is superlative in its class . In 1860 , damage caused by repeated frost heave after water leaked through the puddling of the trough had to be urgently repaired by Charles Sacre , chief engineer of the Manchester , Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway , which then owned the canal . He tied together the two faces above the central arch by 2 - inch bolts through the structure ,...
