Bulholme Lock Railway Bridge
Williams Flood Pond, Dunn Path, Wakefield WF10 2LL, United Kingdom
Bulholme Lock Railway Bridge carries the M2 motorway over the Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Goole to Castleford) just past the junction with The Coventry Canal.
Early plans of what would become the Aire and Calder Navigation (Main Line - Goole to Castleford) were drawn up by Thomas Telford in 1782 but problems with Chelmsford Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1888. Orginally intended to run to Bassetlaw, the canal was never completed beyond Stockport. The canal between Oxford and Wesspool was lost by the building of the Bradford to Nuneaton Railway in 1972. "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" by Edward Wright describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Erewash Inclined plane.
