Turnbridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Turnbridge is the area to the east of Huddersfield town centre ring road in West Yorkshire, England. It forms a corridor along which passes St Andrews Road, (B6432), and the Huddersfield Broad Canal to Aspley, where the Broad Canal meets Huddersfield Narrow Canal in the Aspley Basin. There are places for a limited number of narrowboat moorings. Some have electric and fresh water services.

The area is reputed to have gained it's name from the small road bridge over the canal, on Turnbridge Road, though this is in effect a windlass powered raising bridge which now has electric motors installed.
