The section of the Huddersfield Broad Canal between Wakefield Road Bridge and Lock 1 of the Narrow Canal was restored and landscaped as part of the re-development of the area for the University. However, following strengthening work to Wakefield Road which included the construction of a reinforced concrete tunnel under the original bridge in the 1970s, this short section has been inaccessible from the rest of the Broad Canal and is only navigable to vessels whose width is less than 7 feet (narrowboats). This view is looking south, from the towpath at Wakefield Road.The building to the right is the former warehouse detailed in Image Ahead is the Poly footbridge connecting parts of the University campus as shown in Image
