Standedge Tunnel


A recent trip through Standedge Tunnel on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal gave an opportunity to view the great variety of finishes to the bore. Work commenced on the tunnel in 1795 and it was 1809 before the two end met. The first boat passed through in December 1810 with a grand opening ceremony on 4 April 1811. It was initially 5,445 yards long but has been extended at both ends to make it 5,675 yards. The canal was offcially abandoned in 1944 but was restored to navigation in 2001.

How and why is a completed tunnel made 200+yds longer?
tarboat club has replied to GrahamH clubThe extension of the tunnel was due to the construction of railway tunnels that required the railway to run over the top of the canal at each end for a short distance.
GrahamH club has replied to tarboat clubCan one see through the tunnel end to end?
