Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Lock 17W
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs for 20 miles between Huddersfield in West Yorkshire and Ashton under Lyne in Greater Manchester, UK. The summit of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal is the highest navigable waterway in Britain. Standedge Tunnel on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal is Britain's longest canal tunnel. The canal has a total of 74 locks. The Huddersfield Narrow Canal was fully opened in 1811 but was abandoned in the 1950s. It links the southern end of the Huddersfield Broad Canal, just north of Kings Mill, with the Ashton and Peak Forest Canals at Ashton under Lyne on the Lancashire side of the Pennines. The Huddersfield Narrow Canal re-opened to navigation in May 2001. http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/index.htm
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal should not be confused with the Huddersfield Broad Canal which runs between the centre of Huddersfield and the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Cooper Bridge.

The boundary is marked by various welcome signage, including the one pictured here for both Mossley and Tameside.
