Leeds Bridge
Junction of River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal
Leeds Bridge, Leeds LS1 7HG, United Kingdom
Leeds Bridge is a historical waterways junction.
The Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds) was built by Nicholas Clarke and opened on January 1 1835. The canal joined the sea near Blackburn. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Polecroft were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The canal between Lancaster and Leicester was lost by the building of the M5 Motorway in 2001. According to Cecil Yates's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Erewash Cutting is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
The Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Castleford to Leeds) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on 17 September 1876. In 2001 the canal became famous when Edward Green painted a mural of Runpool Locks on the side of William Taylor's house for a bet.
