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.
This single span stone arch bridge carries the canal towpath over a short arm leading off the canal.
The arm was built to serve a chemical factory, but is no longer used.
