Huddersfield Broad Canal from Whitacre Mill Viaduct

Whitacre Mill Viaduct is a bridge that crossers the Colne Valley, Nr Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Built by the London and North Western Railway in the mid 1860's as part of a much larger plan, the bridge only carried a single track branch line for much of it's history until closure in 1971. The Huddersfield Broad Canal is a short 3.75 mile long canal connecting the Huddersfield Narrow Canal with the Calder and Hebble Navigation, it is sometimes known as the Sir John Ramsden's Canal.
