Elland

Short narrowboat Elland at the start of the Trent and Mersey Canal at Dutton. This boat was built only 60 feet in length to enable it to use the shorter locks on many of the Yorkshire waterways. It was probably built for the Aire and Calder Navigation Company and it is believed that there were six boats of this type built, with Elland being the sole surviving example.

The background has the roof over the canal company's drydock and tanker narrowboat Spey passing.
