Tunnel & Visitor Centre is a great introduction to the
Huddersfield Narrow Canal, a waterway of startling
contrasts, from tranquil countryside to dramatic mills. |
A Visionary Feat
Standedge Tunnel is the highest (196 metres above sea
level), longest (5,029 metres)
and
deepest canal (194 metres) in the country. The project
was started in 1794 at the height of ‘Canal Mania’
period and took 17 years to complete – with a little
help from one of Britain’s greatest civil engineers,
Thomas Telford. |
