Rochdale Canal | The Rochdale Canal runs for 32 miles through
the Pennines between Manchester and Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire.
In Sowerby Bridge it connects with the Calder
and Hebble Navigation. In Manchester it connects with the Ashton
and Bridgewater Canals. First
plans for a canal were made in 1776. Promoted by an Act of 1794 the Rochdale
Canal opened in 1804. Principal cargoes included coal, agricultural produce
and materials for the textiles industry. The large number of locks on
a relatively short length of canal, rising to a height of over 600 feet
(180m), meant that water supply was always a problem. Seven reservoirs
were built especially to service the line. The canal with 92 locks proved a success until the combined effects of road and the decline in traditional industries took their inevitable toll. The last regular through-traffic ended just before World War II, and by the 1950s commercial carrying had virtually ceased altogether. The canal closed to navigation in 1952. It was re-opened to navigation along its entire length in July 2002 and forms part of the South Pennine Ring. |
