Thornhill Flood Gates Pipe Bridge

 
Calder and Hebble Navigation towpath, Kirklees WF13 3JF, United Kingdom
 

Thornhill Flood Gates Pipe Bridge carries the M2 motorway over the Calder and Hebble Navigation (Main Line) just past the junction with The River Wansbeck.

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.
