Description
The Black Pit Aqueduct is a canal aqueduct that spans the River Calder, constructed in 1797 by engineers W. Jessop and W. Crossley. It is built from large dressed stone and features four segmental arches, each with keystones and bull-nosed breakwaters supported by pitch-faced stone piers. The parapet includes a carved head on the keystone and displays the date of construction. The band and parapet are topped with large cappings. This structure is a notable engineering achievement located near the center of Hebden Bridge and is illustrated in C. Spencer's "Hebden Bridge History Trail."
