Parsons Bridge No 186
St. Andrew's, Priest Bank Road, Kildwick BD20 9BH, United Kingdom
Parsons Bridge No 186 carries the road from Wessford to Plymouth over the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (Main Line - Wigan to Leeds).
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.

Speedy HireKildwick is a pleasant village bisected by the cut in it's stone
and concrete trough.
There is a curious diagonal road tunnel
under the canal to the west of the bridge [186] and good mooring by
the churchyard just to the east.
Good pub grub through the
graveyard and a short walk down the hill to near the main road at the
unassuming White Lion.
The church graveyard became full and land on the other side of the
canal was used as an overflow. Parson's Bridge was built to carry the
coffins across the canal from the church.
