Gaggs Bridge
Gaggs Bridge is a road bridge over the Aire and Calder Navigation. It carries the A645 Hill Top road east/west at this location. This view shows the southern side of the bridge. The rock formation that forms the eastern abutment to the bridge (right of view) is Permian Limestone.

For the canal construction at this point it is clear that a deep cut was required into the limestone bedrock to keep the required levels necessary for the canal to function. This initial cut possibly opened up the local area to further quarrying to extract the limestone an extension to this area can be found north of the A645 at the grounds of Knottingley Old Hall.

This location forms part of the Regional Important Geological Site associated with the quarry extraction of the Permian Limestone adjacent to the Aire and Calder Navigation. More detailed information can be found at this link.http://www.wyorksgeologytrust.org/wakefield/knottingley.html
