Park Lock, Ashton Canal
Park Lock, next to Alan Turing Way.
In the background is one of the two giant gasholders built for the Bradford Gasworks in the second half of the nineteenth century. One of the last reminders that up until the late 1960s, This was a heavily industrialised area. The gasworks, together with Bradford Colliery and Bradford Ironworks (Richard Johnson and Nephew) dominated a heavily industrialised landscape of which little remains apart from the two gasholders. The Eastlands regeneration area is now home to one of the Europe's biggest concentrations of sporting venues, as well as acres of green space, shops and leisure facilities and a range of canalside residential developments such as the one on the right hand side of the picture.

Roving bridge at Lock No.7 (2)
See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3592986 for details. The bottom end of the ramp is particularly steep and particular care would need to have been taken with the horse to avoid it slipping and potentially falling into the canal.

Roving bridge at Lock No.7 (1)
See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3592988 . An unusual version of a roving bridge, designed to carry the towpath from one side of the canal to the other. Normally they form a spiral enabling the move to be made without unhitching the horse, but in this case it would have been necessary. However, the location immediately adjacent to a lock would have meant that it was not so critical here. The metal sheeting was clearly intended to ensure smooth passage of the tow rope - note the grooves worn into the iron uprights. The lock and bridge are Listed Grade II.
