Cooper Bridge Junction. The lock cut to the left leads to Cooper Bridge Lock and Mirfield. The river to the right leads to the first lock of the Huddersfield Broad Canal. Upstream (behind the camera) leads to Brighouse.
The first lock of the Huddersfield Broad Canal is off the river section downstream of Cooper Bridge Junction. The by-wash from the lock emerges on the left. The weir is a short distance downstream to the left.
A little over half a mile upstream, as another weir is approached, the navigation branches off to the left into the half-mile long Kirklees Cut, entered through Kirklees Lock. On the hillside to the east is what is reputed to be Robin Hood's Grave, in the wooded grounds of the former Kirklees Priory.
The M62 motorway crosses over Kirklees Cut by this high viaduct a little west of the Brighouse interchange.
The cut passes though Anchor Pit Flood Lock before re-joining the river.
