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 bridges on the canal are numbered from Liverpool. Any bridges built after the canal opened are given a letter suffix so that all original bridges retain their numbers. This bridge number 225F is the sixth bridge between bridges 225 and 226.
The Cut Mark is in good condition, but slightly faded.
