At 220 years old, the worldfamous Pontcysyllte aqueduct in north Wales is doing very well for its age but it does need a lot of care and maintenance. Every 20 years it's drained of water for a full inspection and I've been along to see what the Canal & River Trust's engineers have found this time around.
