The Huddersfield Narrow Canal opened in 1811. It runs for just under 20 miles from Lock 1E, where it joins the Huddersfield Broad Canal at the rear of the University of Huddersfield campus, to the junction with the Ashton Canal at Whitelands Basin in Ashton-under-Lyne. It crosses the Pennines by means of 74 locks and the Standedge Tunnel.

Old milestone

A few of the West Riding CC late 19C milestones were cast as flat plates. This was usually where there wasn't room for a protruding attachment. This is by the Navigation Inn on the A670, once the West Riding but Greater Manchester since the early 1970s. It was painted in 2010 but the legends were not outlined in black. The foundry name, Brayshaw & Booth, Makers, Liversedge is just discernable under HUDDERSFIELD/13 MILES. These flat plates also had a narrower backing stone than the usual design.
