Skew Bridge Lock No 26E is one of a group of locks on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1905.
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.

![Footpath in Owlers Wood, Slaithwaite. This path leads via [[4926522]] to join the public footpath at [[4926500]].The name 'Owlers' occurs in several places in south-west Yorkshire. The usual meaning of the word is a sheep or wool smuggler in the days when it was illegal to export these items to France and some other countries. The more general meaning is perhaps for activities that take place in darkness and out of sight in woodland. by Humphrey Bolton – 28 April 2016](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/04/92/65/4926556_bf00bebb_120x120.jpg)
