 Uppermill
The trip boat Pennine Moonraker heads north towards Moorgate Street Bridge, Uppermill. For many years this was the only boat to be seen here but now there are always several boats moored in Uppermill.
 Uppermill
Looking towards Diggle from Moorgate Street, Uppermill.
Lock 22 W, Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Saddleworth
Approaching Dungebooth Lock (22w), one of the first two locks to be restored.
Saddleworth Viaduct, Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Saddleworth
A short distance ahead, the canal passes under Saddleworth railway viaduct through an unusual skew arch. Limekiln Lock (23w) can be seen just through the arch. This was the other lock to be restored when the Huddersfield Canal Society first began its campaign to re-open the canal.
Old Sag Aqueduct, Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Mossley
Below Limekiln Lock is Saddleworth Aqueduct across the River Tame, known as "Old Sag" because of its noticeable droop.
Brownhills, Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Saddleworth
Looking back south at Brownhills Bridge, Uppermill, to the Old Sag aqueduct, Lock 23w (Limekiln Lock) and the Saddleworth rail viaduct. Uppermill village can be seen in the distance.
