IMAGES of the HUDDERSFIELD NARROW CANAL
 


The Huddersfield Narrow Canal - at 196m (645 ft) above sea level, the highest stretch of canal in the country - winds through some of the most dramatic and beautiful countryside in England. This canal links the broad navigations of Manchester and Huddersfield via the Standedge Tunnel, which runs for some 3 miles beneath the Pennine hills. The tunnel was completed in 1811 and, until its closure in 1944, carried cargo-laden canal boats and barges through the heart of the Pennines from Diggle to Marsden and beyond. Now fully restored, the Standedge Tunnel was re-opened in the spring of 2001, and has brought life back to this spectacular stretch of waterway

We hope that these images of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal convey the sense of tranquility and timelessness of this part of England
