Shipley Junction, Bradford Canal.
Shipley, West Yorkshire.

Shipley Junction was once the meeting point of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal with the Bradford Canal. The 3 1/2 mile canal drew water from Bradford Beck, itself very heavily polluted by the woollen and dye industry that grew up in the town during the industrial revolution. Locally the canal became known as the River Stink, and along with competition from the Railways lead to its eventual closure and subsequent infill in 1923.
