Caltha palustris, also called Marsh Marigold.
Tag Cut, Elland :: SE1222
The Tag Cut was part of the original Calder and Hebble Navigation, which used the River Calder upstream and downstream of the cut, which bypassed a loop in the river and a weir. It became redundant when the long Freeman's Cut was constructed, in 1805-8, between the (Brighouse) North Cut at Freeman's Lock and Salterhebble. It is now dammed by a wall across Tag Lock, at the downstream end, and carries a small stream flow. It is in the Cromwell Bottom Local Nature Reserve.
