Description
Canal Bridge Number 170 and integral lock is a public road bridge over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, built around 1790 by engineer Robert Whitworth. The bridge is constructed of dressed stone and features a single segmental arch with rusticated vousoirs, a band, and a solid parapet, all pitched at the midpoint. The curving abutments terminate in piers. The footings of the bridge are the extended retaining walls of the lock, which rise about 15 feet high at their highest point and are made of dressed stone that is rebated for wooden gates.
