Approaching Huddersfield, looking east towards the new Lock 3e.
Below the tail gates of the new Lock 3e is the entrance to the tunnel below Sellers' Engineering. Steps from the lockside lead down to a landing platform enabling boaters to get on or off their boats below the lock.
Sellers' Tunnel, Huddersfield, is around 400 metres long with curves making it impossible to see right through. This picture was taken part way through, showing a glimmer of light appearing at the eastern end.
At the eastern end of the tunnel, the channel narrows down to pass through the tail of the original Lock 3e and the tunnel arch of Chapel Hill bridge. The new Lock 2e can be seen beyond.
Looking east from the arch of Chapel Hill Bridge, with its tapering tunnel sides, towards the new Lock 2e.
Lock 2e, Huddersfield, with the mill buildings of Bates and Co. behind. Immediately behind the lock, the canal passes through a tunnel below two of the mill buildings. There is no public access to this lock for except by boat.
My thanks to Tony and Cath of the narrowboat "All Ports" for their assistance to enable me to take some of the photographs on this page.
