Huddersfield Narrow Canal

Record: 32 km

The Huddersfield Narrow Canal is an inland waterway in northern England. It runs just under 20 miles (32 km) from Lock 1E at the rear of the University of Huddersfield campus, near Aspley Basin in Huddersfield, 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.

        Whitelands Bridge is an early example of a skew arch as the road crosses at an angle. When this bridge was built in around 1795, engineers were still trying to perfect the art of building skew bridges. The courses of brick at the side of the bridge are horizontal, with a distinct boundary where they meet the bricks forming the roof arch, which are 'winding courses' laid in a helicoidal fashion, perpendicular to the outside face of the bridge. Some of the photos here will explain this. Huddersfield Narrow Canal 3

The canal is carried in a cast-iron trough while the towpath crosses an arched stone bridge alongside. The aqueduct was built in 1800, replacing the original stone aqueduct, damaged by flooding, and was one of the earliest cast iron canal troughs in the country. Huddersfield Narrow Canal 16
