This is the southern end of the Huddersfield Broad Canal. The Huddersfield Narrow Canal leads in from the left of the picture, with Lock 1E being just out of the picture. A short channel connecting to the River Colne once led off to the right of the picture. The buildings are part of the University of Huddersfield.
Looking back southwards along the stretch of canal to Lock 1E of the Narrow Canal. The University of Huddersfield campus is on the right behind the crane and the restored Aspley Warehouse.
Aspley Basin, looking west. The basin has now been made into a small marina.
Looking south across Aspley Basin, Huddersfield. The entrance to the restored arm from the Narrow Canal can be seen under the new road bridge.
Looking north along the Broad Canal from Aspley Basin, Huddersfield. The lift bridge can be seen in the distance.
Perhaps the most interesting feature on the canal is the lift bridge at Quay Street, Huddersfield. Until recently this was windlass-operated although it is now electric. Despite being a lft bridge, it is known as Turnbridge. It is also known as Locomotive Bridge.
