This marker post is associated with the nearby aqueduct built by Bradford Corporation in 1858. The correct initials BCWW seem to have been altered to BBWW. Presumably the "Ft" refers to the depth of, or distance from, the underground conduit but no figure is visible.

An aqueduct in Swartha Woods built by Bradford Corporation Water Works in 1858 to carry water to Bradford from reservoirs on Barden Moor. It is a Grade II listed structure and the listing says "Rock-faced stone and ashlar. 3 segmental-arches on tall piers with cavetto moulded imposts, margin-dressed rock-faced voussoirs aligned to the courses, punched-dressed intrados. Hollow-chamfered band and coping to ashlar parapet. Dressed abutments surmounted by cast-iron railings, the bars with spearhead finials." But you knew that anyway.
