Co-Operative Bridge, Sowerby Bridge

 The Co-Operative Bridge crossers the Rochdale Canal connecting the Industrial Road and Hollins Mill areas of Sowerby Bridge. I'm not sure of the bridges age but it appears on maps from the 1870's, despite crossing the canal there is no way to access the towpath from the bridge or steps either side of the waterway.

I took these pictures on the 29th December 2013 with a Samsung Galaxy Tablet.
