Another Water Blip...

This is Holmcoat Lock on the Rochdale Canal between Hebden Bridge and Todmorden.
It is number 14 out of 91 locks on this 32 mile long canal which stretches across the Pennines from Sowerby Bridge to Manchester.
The canal was closed to navigation in 1952 and by the mid 1960s was virtually unusable and in a very sad state.
This section was refurbished and reopened in 1983, but the whole length of the canal was not open for navigation until 2002.
