Railway Bridge No 225C carries a footpath 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.

There is a bridge here which takes a railway over the canal.

![Train stopped on Kirkstall viaduct (detail). The train seems to have been heading for Leeds, but had been stopped. I found out later it had struck a trespasser on the line. Seen here on the track around it are a number of people in hi-vis jackets and hard hats, presumably Network Rail staff and/or British Transport Police. Photographed from the top deck of a passing bus.
