Description

This bridge, built between 1836 and 1840, carries the north track of the railway over the River Calder, located downstream from the Kirklees Cut in Bradley. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features two segmental skew arches with rusticated ashlar voussoirs. The bridge has a modillioned cornice and a parapet. The Manchester and Leeds Railway, which later became part of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, received its Act of Parliament on 4 July 1836, and this section was opened to the public on 5 October 1840.
