The Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs for 20 miles between Huddersfield in West Yorkshire under the Pennines and on to Ashton under Lyne in Greater Manchester.
The canal has a total of 74 locks and at its summit the canal is the highest navigable waterway in Britain.
Thomas Telford completed the three-mile tunnel in 1811 after 17 years of work and it is one of his most famous achievements.
The canal closed in 1948 and it was 53 years before it re-opened again to navigation in May 2001.
