It 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.
At this point the milestone is 125.25 miles from the start at Leeds and 2 miles from the port of Liverpool. It stands very close to foot bridge L on the canal.
