Abstract:		 The canal bridge forms part of the grade II listed 'Elland Bridge', which also includes the bridge over the River Calder to the south of the canal. Following heavy rainfall in December 2015, the Calder broke its banks and water surged down the canal, causing severe structural damage to the Grade II listed canal bridge, which was immediately closed to all vehicles and pedestrians. Building recording, including photographic survey and a laser scan, was undertaken to provide a record of the bridge prior to major reconstruction works. The watching brief was undertaken on the demolition works, and forms a supplement to building recording report. Research has shown that the bridge was built in, or shortly after, 1811. It was effectively built as a northern extension to the river bridge, which itself has seen at least two episodes of widening. It had been thought that the canal bridge may also have been widened at some point; however, no evidence for this was observed during the building recording or watching brief. The watching brief demonstrated that the canal bridge had been built directly onto clay. Some evidence for alterations or repairs to the bridge buttresses and the canal walls adjacent to the bridge was noted.
