Lock 8W on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal
Huddersfield Narrow Canal
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal opened in 1811. It runs for just under 20 miles from Lock 1E, where it joins the Huddersfield Broad Canal at the rear of the University of Huddersfield campus, to the junction with the Ashton Canal at Whitelands Basin in Ashton-under-Lyne. It crosses the Pennines by means of 74 locks and the Standedge Tunnel.
