This bridge carries the road over the Hol Beck. The beck's natural course has been culverted for about 3km under the industrial areas of South Leeds - see Image for near the other end of this long culvert, where it is called the Wortley Beck. Peak flows are attenuated by Farnley balancing reservoir a further 3km upstream, nevertheless recent flood alleviation work has raised the wall of the channel along Water Lane. Note the depth gauge at the left, covering a range from 1.0 to 3.5 metres; to the right of the gauge is a former culvert outfall now plugged with concrete.
