Description


CALDER AND HEBBLE NAVIGATION
1.
5113
HUDDERSFIELD NARROW CANAL
Armitage Bridge (Milnsbridge)
SE 1215 38/313
II
2.
1793-8. Hammer-dressed stone. Depressed arch. Widened in 1861 by the addition
of a flat iron span on the east side: iron parapet, panelled, with diamond
pattern and "1861" in relief. The bridge is one of the unreconstructed survivors
from the earliest phase of the canal's construction, when, as an economy measure,
some bridges were built too narrow to accommodate the towpath. Instead there
are steps in the canal bank on the east side, and a ramp up to the road.
