Welcome to the Rochdale canal, a canal restored from the 70s to the early 2000s. It took The Rochdale Canal is in Northern England, between Manchester and Sowerby Bridge. Its name refers to the town of Rochdale through which it passes.

The Rochdale is a broad canal because its locks are wide enough to allow vessels of 14 feet (4.3 m) width. The canal runs for 32 miles (51 km) across the Pennines from the Bridgewater Canal at Castlefield Basin in Manchester to join the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire.

As built, the canal had 92 locks. Whilst the traditional lock numbering has been retained on all restored locks, and on the relocated locks, the canal now has 91. Locks 3 and 4 have been replaced with a single deep lock, Tuel Lane Lock, which is numbered 3/4.

What’s happening to restore the branch into the centre of Rochdale? I meet Steven John Parker of @stevenjohnparker6538 to discuss the options for the restoration of the branch back under the railways to the tram system of Rochdale
