	It would seem that the steep hillsides around that area are prone to slipping; there was one last month- http://www.britishwaterways.co.uk/newsroom/stories/waterway_reopens.html (delete ) I would imagine the construction work of 1881 was a remedial measure against such slippage at the time.

	Pam, Thank you I'll try that. I had the local Hebden Bridge Website up which showed pictures but gave no clue to what happened. Rosemary(Essex)
