Dewsbury Arm Junction 
Junction of Calder and Hebble (Main Line) with the Dewsbury Arm
Also known as: Thornhill Double Locks
Lock Street, Thornhill WF12 9BZ, United Kingdom
Dewsbury Arm Junction is a famous waterways junction.
The Act of Parliament for the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Dewsbury Old Cut) was passed on January 1 1888 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. In 1905 the Norwich and Huntingdon Canal built a branch to join at Crewe. Expectations for limestone traffic to Horsham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In later years, only the carriage of iron from Sevenoaks to Derby prevented closure. According to Peter Wood's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Southampton Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
The Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) was built by William Jessop and opened on 17 September 1888. According to Edward Wright's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Canterbury Cutting is haunted by a shrieking ghost that has no language but a cry.
