SE1739 : Bridge 211A, Leeds and Liverpool Canal

taken 38 years ago, near to Esholt, Bradford, England

Bridge 211A, Leeds and Liverpool Canal
Bridge 211A, Leeds and Liverpool Canal
The nearby Esholt Sewage Works was a vast concern with facilities for extracting the lanolin (which originated in wool grease) from the waste water. There was a large light railway system (almost all standard gauge), of which one line crossed the canal here to reach some settling tanks on the south side. When the railway was eventually dismantled, the bridge remained and has found some use by walkers. The head of Three Rise locks (Nos. 20 to 18) can just be seen in the distance.
