Listed buildings in Hurleston
Hurleston is a former civil parish in Cheshire East, England. It contained eight buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings, all of which are at Grade II. This grade is the lowest of the three gradings given to listed buildings and is applied to "buildings of national importance and special interest".[1] The parish was entirely rural, its main feature being the junction of the Shropshire Union Canal and the Llangollen Canal, the Hurleston Junction, and in particular the system of locks at the east end of the Llangollen Canal. Of the eight listed buildings, six are associated with the canal system, four locks and two bridges. The other listed buildings are a farmhouse and one of its farm buildings.
