Officially known as Turnbridge, it is bridge number 17 on the Huddersfield Broad Canal.

[1] Located at Quay Street, off St Andrews road (approx 300 Yards from the town centre),[2] it opened in 1865 and replaced an earlier swing bridge.

A combination of wheels, chains and counter-weights were used to lift the deck of the bridge out of the way of passing canal barges.

[3] Previously windlass operated, it was refurbished in 2002 and is now electrically powered.
