Prior to the building of the railway the River Calder had been canalised in sections to turn the un-navigable river into a route usable by canal boats and is known as the Calder and Hebble Navigation.
This part of the navigation is just south of Kirklees Cut and is one of the original navigable sections of the river.
The bridge is number 21 over the Calder and Hebble Navigation and known on the navigation as Bradley Viaduct.
The Calder Valley Line
This part of the line is on the Halifax to Huddersfield section of the Calder Valley Line.
