Copley Canalside Archers, West Yorkshire.

Copley Canal side Archers, now a seating area but I remember vaguely as a kid they were some sort of canal side delivery point. The canal side area being walled off and a funnel running into a small central area to allow I assume coal (or possibly grain) to drop into the arched area below. A few years ago they were capped off with the area above having the wall cut away and being covered to allow a paved seating are alongside the Calder & Hebble Navigation canal and the arched area immediately alongside Copley Lane being walled up and becoming a lower level seating area. 

The funnels above the arches were used in the delivery of coal from barges on the canal above, the coal would be funnelled on to waiting carts below in the now closed of lower seating area.
