Hebden Bridge is a stone arch bridge spanning the Hebden Water in the parish of Heptonstall, West Yorkshire. The structure dates from the seventeenth century and represents a significant example of early modern bridge construction in the Pennine region. Built of coursed stone with a single arch, the bridge exemplifies the practical engineering required to maintain river crossing on what became an important routeway through the Calderdale valley. The bridge remains substantially intact and forms part of the historic infrastructure associated with the development of settlement and textile industry in the Hebden valley during the early modern period.
