![Entrance to former Knostrop Cut, blocked. See [[4784202]] for when this was a working lock only 2 years ago.

![New bridge, Knostrop Cut (1). Following the completion of flood alleviation works that removed the 'central reservation' between the river and the Navigation, the cycle route that used to run along the reservation and that was temporarily diverted round roads on the south bank was reinstated in 2019 along the north bank of the river, with a new bridge at the eastern end and a pair of bridges at the western end. This is the southern bridge (across the Navigation) at the western end.See [[828603]] for the old bridge that this one replaced. by Stephen Craven – 14 May 2019](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/31/61/6316161_6669a191_120x120.jpg)

![Stub of the old River Aire at Knostrop Cut. When the Knostrop Cut was formed in 18xx as part of the Aire and Calder Navigation, it was a shortcut to the north of the meandering course of the Aire. Subsequently (some time in the second half of the 19th century) a new cut was made for the river itself running parallel and to the north of the Navigation. This short stub is all that remains; another contributor notes [[2765894]] that at one time it served an oil terminal. The rest of the old course of the Aire from here to the other end of the Cut is no longer visible: it probably still exists in culvert, as there is a small outfall at the far end. by Stephen Craven – 18 February 2017](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/29/00/5290064_93457f54_120x120.jpg)
