Huddersfield Broad Canal
The Huddersfield Broad Canal or Sir John Ramsden's Canal, is a wide-locked navigable canal in West Yorkshire in northern England. The waterway is 3.75 miles (6 km) long and has 9 wide locks. It follows the valley of the River Colne and connects the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Cooper Bridge junction with the Huddersfield Narrow Canal near Aspley Basin in Huddersfield.
Construction was authorised in 1774, and the canal opened two years later. It became part of a trans-Pennine route in 1811 when the Huddersfield Narrow Canal joined it at Aspley Basin. Traffic was hampered by the long narrowboats used on the narrow canal that could not use Ramsden's Canal's shorter locks. Goods were transhipped at Aspley Basin, and although shorter narrowboats were built, its success as a trans-Pennine route was overshadowed by the Rochdale Canal which had wide locks throughout and joined the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge. The canal passed into railway ownership in 1845, but prospered into the 20th century. Railway ownership ceased in 1945, when it was bought by the Calder and Hebble Navigation, at which point the narrow canal across the Pennines was abandoned. The broad canal carried commercial traffic, particularly coal for power stations, until 1953.
After the formation of British Waterways in 1962, the canal was designated a cruiseway in 1968, which meant that it was mainly for leisure traffic. Use of the canal has increased significantly since the Huddersfield Narrow Canal re-opened in 2001, as it is no longer a dead end. Many of its structures have been given listed building status, in recognition of their historic importance.
History
The canal appears to have been planned for some time before it was authorised, as the Calder and Hebble Navigation obtained an act of Parliament, the Calder and Hebble Navigation Act 1757 (31 Geo. 2. c. 72), for its canal in 1758, which included a clause to prevent interference with any future navigation "from the Mouth of the River Coln to the town of Huddersfield". In 1766, Robert Whitworth surveyed a route for such a canal, and the Calder and Hebble Navigation Act 1769 (9 Geo. 3. c. 71) contained a similar clause. A second survey was carried out in 1773 by Luke Holt and Joseph Atkinson for the Ramsden family, who owned the whole of Huddersfield at the time and keen to develop the canal. The family also owned roughly one-third of the land along the proposed route of the canal. Holt had worked on the construction of the Calder and Hebble above Cooper Bridge.[1]
Atkinson presented evidence for the bill to the parliamentary committee, being somewhat less than truthful when he stated that Huddersfield was 'the only market for narrow woolen cloths' in the West Riding of Yorkshire. The estimated cost of its construction was £8,000, and it was expected to take one year to complete. Profits were limited by the act, which stipulated that the tolls must be cut as the profits increased. Commissioners were to be appointed, with powers to examine the canal accounts and ensure compliance. In order to prevent water drawn by the canal from interfering with the operation of local mills, the upper 1.5 miles (2.4 km) were made deeper than the rest of the canal, to provide a reservoir of water.

Very enjoyable video. You managed to capture the atmosphere of a beautiful industrial landscape - something long lost in most parts of the world. Thank you!
@@HaraldFinster I'm so glad you haved enjoyed the video. your right about it being a beautiful industrial landscape. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Well I must say that transpennine route upgrade's beginning to come along quite nciely, I'm also still certain the line will become electrified as part of the upgrade.
Yes I do believe they are electrifying the line. They are building new road bridges to go over the track to be able to fit the electrification.
That was a nice long video stroll Adrian. Such nice picturesque quietness. Good to see Riverside House near the end of the video, which was the Huddersfield office for the training company that I used to work for. Spent quite a lot of time there. Well done again on another superb video.
@@barrywa39 thank you for a bit of information you just given. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video as well.
Stations in this clip are in fact Deighton and Huddersfielld.
Thank you for commenting John I do appreciate it so much
Another excellent video in the series Adrian. Just a little bit of info. When you come out of the station and walk down to John William Street, you will see Lion Chambers facing you, it has a lion on the roof. The original lion was made of Coade Stone, a man made stone, made in London. There is a Coade Stone lion on the south bank of the River Thames, near the old County Hall. The statue of the lion in Huddersfield, is, I believe, a fibreglass replica.
@@barrywa39 I'm definitely going to keep that in my mind 😉
@@adrianadamson I keep coming out with all these facts, and snippets of info.
@@barrywa39 I do appreciate it. This Sunday I've got a long video on the Huddersfield broad canal
Some very pleasant scenery on that part of the journey. Good idea splitting the journey into segments.
@@barrywa39 thank you for the compliment
@@adrianadamson you're welcome. Always a pleasure to watch your videos Adrian, and Dave's too.
Nice journey Adrian. I think I've only ever been in Deighton once, years ago when a local chemists chain opened their head office in a mill type of building there, and I was invited to the opening.
@@barrywa39 you've got a mindful of knowledge and a story, I'm glad that you're shared with my TH-cam channel Thank you
Lovely video, you are winning son
Thank you ❤
It makes you realise that some of the local countryside is really nice. Excellent idea splitting the journey into parts Adrian.
@@barrywa39 I have another three videos of putting up later on in the week
It looks really pretty despite the ongoing works.
@@barrywa39 Thank you, did you manage to watch part 2
@@adrianadamson I just watched it now Adrian. Sorry for the delay in watching it, I misplaced my train ticket. 😂
@@barrywa39 you're so funny 😂🤣
Hope that everything is OK Adrian.
Excellent filming and editing Adrian.
Thank you so much Barry
What a wonderfully, fascinating museum. Of course, I loved the Ancient Egypt part. I went to the 2004 exhibition at the British Museum, called Mummy - The Inside Story. Loved your camerawork Adrian, and the editing was spot on. The music went really well too. Now I have to wait a few days to watch your Bro's video.
@@barrywa39 David's video probably a different style than my. I'm glad that You've enjoyed it and thank you for the compliment.
@@adrianadamson it's best to have different styles. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. The Adamson Bro Network rules. 🙂
@@barrywa39 The Adamson Bro Network. I quite like the sound of that.
Lovely and peaceful. I'm guessing that you filmed around the same time as when Dave did his filming. Nice work again Adrian.
@@barrywa39 Yes we did film at the same time. Thank you again for dropping in and giving me a view and a like
@@adrianadamson always a pleasure to watch you videos Adrian.
Phew, I think that I would have been stood with you Adrian, those kayaks looked too wobbly for me. Nice camera work, and enjoyed some of the banter. Well done to the lads for being brave enough to give it a go. I prefer something more sturdy, with engines fitted. 😂
@@barrywa39 thank you for your comment, I will pass it on to the lads
What a beautiful looking church, you would think that it was situated in a little village. Well done on going up the tower. That was spooky seeing that rope thing moving in the bell ringers room, at about 7 minutes 30 seconds. As always Adrian, an excellent video.
It's a lovely church up Thornhill with a lot of history 😊

Thank you Barry for dropping in again and commenting. The video was filmed Thursday and quite windy. Traffic was quite busy but not many people around.

Thank you for your kind words 🙏♥️
@@adrianadamson you're very welcome.
Nice one Adrian. It made me realise that the last time I went through there on a train, was 2019, on my way to Manchester.
Are you gonna make a visit when the new station is built.
@@adrianadamson probably only on a train going through to Manchester.
Alot happening.. The tower behind the Drax train is where I worked.. We gave Network rail access to reach and demolish the old Station buildings on the Huddersfield bound side 20 years ago.. I remember them smashing up the ornate Iron structures…I wish I had bribed them to keep a piece but they were heavy
The processor you just describe sounds amazing, would have been nice to film. It would have been great to get a piece of the old station
The last bit of your video is the beginnings of the “Big Boy” Spanning the River Calder and Canal is a New Split Four track “Baker Viaduct “ which will render the old Iron bridge route redundant..- Sorry for giving too much away everyone 😆
You haven't mate. One of the reasons why the upgrade is delayed is because of a swans nest on the canal
The road you are walking on will completely disappear.. The new route under construction is over the wall where the machines are working- Massive Job I am looking at the technical drawing plan of where you are and the whole rail alignment is entirely different and massively enhanced. I may be wrong but you are at the most expensive square kilometre of the whole line upgrade.. Who would have thought it a few years ago @ Ravensthorpe 😂
You are completely right with that statement, I think there may be behind schedule with the work.
@@adrianadamsonThey are! My son works at Newlay and has heard that they have come up against extensive Mine Workings and have had to plug the shafts as part of the civils with its extra expense 🙄😄
@@MrDodgedollar what a complete headache, I'm glad I'm not doing the work or the planning
@@adrianadamsonkeep going with the Video’s please; I have moved away but am fascinated with this part of the job- People are in for a surprise how big and how different the place will look Adrian!- Thanks
@@MrDodgedollar Thank you, I will updates if I can
Crikey, it looks like a massive engineering undertaking. Hope that all the disruption is going to be worth it. Thanks for videoing it Adrian.
