The West Portal of the Standedge Tunnel, Huddersfield Narrow Canal The Standedge Tunnels are four parallel tunnels through the Pennines between Marsden, West Yorkshire and Diggle, Greater Manchester. Three of them are railway tunnels and the fourth, and earliest, carries the Huddersfield Narrow Canal. The canal tunnel was built between 1794 and 1811; initial work was supervised by Benjamin Outram but it was completed under the direction of Thomas Telford. It only allows one-way traffic but it is the longest (4984m), deepest and highest canal tunnel in Britain. The three railway tunnels were built in 1848 (single track), 1871 (single track) and 1894 (double track). Only the last of these remains in use. All four tunnels are connected to each other by cross-tunnels.
