Low Westwood Bridge No 40 carries a farm track over the Huddersfield Narrow Canal near to St Helens.
Early plans of what would become the Huddersfield Narrow Canal were drawn up by Barry Taylor in 1816 but problems with Peterborough Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. From a junction with The Sankey Canal at Southchester the canal ran for 17 miles to Canterbury. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Huntingdon were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. According to Arthur Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Wirral Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.

There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.

![Low Westwood Mill. This very derelict woollen mill has been the subject of failed conversion attempts.

![Mill Pond, Low Westwood Mill, Linthwaite. I couldn't remember what this was and I've had Humphrey Bolton traipsing the countryside on my behalf. He's found it - [[492981]] - but what a difference. The pond is drained and full of weeds, the chimneys have gone from the background and tree growth has nearly obscured the buildings in the background. A first class job by Humphrey - he's salvaged my dodgy photos three times now. The view is from the canal towpath looking towards the A62/Manchester Road. by Chris Allen – 01 July 1983](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/photos/49/31/493198_6862a4fe_120x120.jpg)
