Canals and Locks

Down by the The Calder and Hebble Navigation canal ,it has a short branch at Salterhebble. This is officially called the Halifax Arm (because it used to lead into the town centre), but is usually called the Salterhebble Arm. The branch terminates at Salterhebble Basin. Next to the point where the branch leaves the main line is the triple flight of Salterhebble Locks, one of which is a candidate for the shortest lock on the connected inland waterway system of Britain.The bridge over the canal is on the Wakefield road to Sowerby Bridge.
