Rochdale Canal
The historic, 202 year old canal Rochdale Canal runs for 33 miles between Manchester and Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire. Following the closure of local mills and its subsequent decline in use, the canal was fully re-opened in 2002 thanks to a £23 million restoration programme.
Today, The Waterways Trust is working with people living along the historic canal to help realise the true potential of this restored waterway.
