Built in 1873, or thereabouts, the masonry arch bridge carries Crag Hill Road over the former G.N.R. Shipley to Laisterdyke railway. The railway was single track throughout its length and was closed to passenger traffic in 1931 (Trains Illustrated 1957- Rail Tour of the West Riding Part 2 by A.M.Ross) .
