Standedge Tunnel Ventilation Tower Standedge is a moorland escarpment in the Pennines, between Marsden and Diggle. It has been a major moorland crossing point since Roman times and possibly earlier. Four parallel tunnels run under Standedge from Diggle to Marsden. The canal tunnel is the oldest of these, having been opened in 1811 as part of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal, and is still in use. The three railway tunnels were opened respectively in 1848, 1871 and 1894; only the 1894 tunnel still carries rail traffic.
