The canal is 127.25 miles long and flows from the inland woollen town of Leeds to the coastal sea port of Liverpool, crossing the Pennines along the way. Work on the canal started in 1770 and built in a number of sections and was finally completed in 1816.
The bridge was originally built in 1790 when the canal was extended from Gargrave to Burnley. At some point the bridge has been widened slightly and the lower part of the arch is now partly covered by a square stone abutment. The PA Bolt is slightly damaged next to the towpath and on an original arch stone.

For some reason the website describes it as a cut mark rather than PA Bolt.
