Rochdale Canal

The Rochdale Canal is a traversable wide channel in Northern England, amongst Manchester and Sowerby Bridge, some portion of the associated arrangement of the trenches of Great Britain. Its name alludes to the town of Rochdale, in Greater Manchester, through which it passes. The Rochdale is a wide channel since its locks are sufficiently wide to permit vessels of 14 feet width.

The trench keeps running for 32 miles 51 km over the Pennines from the Bridgewater Canal at Castlefield Basin in Manchester to join the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire. As fabricated, the channel had 92 locks. While the conventional bolt numbering has been held on all reestablished locks, and on the moved locks, the trench now has 91. Locks 3 and 4 have been supplanted with a solitary profound bolt, Tuel Lane Lock, which is numbered 3/4.
