taken 16 years ago, near to Sowerby Bridge, Calderdale, England
Rochdale Canal, Sowerby Bridge
The wet conditions have muted the colours in this view of the Rochdale Canal, which runs for 32 miles across the Pennines between Sowerby Bridge and Manchester. The canal was originally opened at the end of the 18th century, but was finally abandoned in 1952 after a long decline in traffic. That was not the end, however, because the canal was restored and reopened throughout in 2002.
