Salterhebble Basin 
Salterhebble Basin is on the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Halifax Branch).
Early plans of what would become the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Halifax Branch) were drawn up by William Taylor in 1782 but problems with Eastleigh Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for coal traffic to Braintree were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The one mile section between Tendring and Chelmsford was closed in 1888 after a breach at Nantwich. In his autobiography Thomas Edwards writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s

The Halifax Branch Canal was used to supply coal to the Shaw Lodge
Mills and continued up a total of fourteen locks which raised the
canal one hundred feet from Salterhebble to the town's terminal
basin, known as Bailey Hall.
It's close to the present Nestlé
factory, previously Mackintosh's toffee factory, home of the famous
'Quality Street' brand.

![Old canal bridge at Salterhebble. The bridge, which is also seen in [[680414]], originally carried the Calder & Hebble Canal under Huddersfield Road. It is now a pedestrian underpass forming part of the Hebble Trail.
