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.
When the canal first opened the boats on the canal were towed by horses. This bridge is on a slight bend and there are grooves in the arch of the bridge caused by the tow ropes rubbing against the bridge.
At some point when road usage increased metal foot bridges have been built for pedestrian use on each side of the bridge.
