The Canal History
The Rochdale Canal was completed in 1804 and is one of three canals that cross the Pennine hills. This is the only one that doesn’t use tunnels. In addition it was a broad canal with bridges and locks that allowed boats of 14 feet width to pass through.

This lock is named Bottomley Lock, it has an integrated stone arch bridge that is wide enough to take road traffic next to the bottom gates.
