Cooper Bridge Junction
Cooper Bridge Junction is a historical waterways junction.
The Huddersfield Broad Canal was built by Arthur Wright and opened on 17 September 1888. Expectations for pottery traffic to Southhampton never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the use of the canal for cooling Leicester power station was enough to keep it open. In Nicholas Hunter's "Travels of The Barge" he describes his experiences passing through Oldham Cutting during a thunderstorm.
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.
