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 1800 when the canal was extended from Burnley to Enfield. The cut mark and bolt is in good condition and next to the 5th arch stone up from the ground level.
