Carpenters Yard Bridge No 167 is an notable flight of locks on 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 track over the canal.

![Carpenters Yard Bridge [No 167], Leeds & Liverpool Canal. Seen from a boat ascending Lock 37, the second lowest of the six Bank Newton locks. Where possible, canal bridges are often built at the tail of la lock, because it is cheaper than building them in the middle of a long pound. by Christine Johnstone – 07 June 2017](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/42/81/5428109_c7db1453_120x120.jpg)
