Twelve Mile Lock No 26W
Huddersfield Road, Saddleworth OL3 5LG, United Kingdom
Twelve Mile Lock No 26W is one of a group of locks on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal and unusually is opened with a crank handle.
Early plans of what would become the Huddersfield Narrow Canal were drawn up by Barry Taylor in 1816 but problems with Peterborough Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. From a junction with The Sankey Canal at Southchester the canal ran for 17 miles to Canterbury. Expectations for sea sand traffic to Huntingdon were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. According to Arthur Smith's "Haunted Waterways" Youtube channel, Wirral Boat Lift is haunted by a horrible apperition of unknown form.
