Rochdale Canal
The Rochdale Canal runs between Manchester and Sowerby Bridge. It runs through the town of Rochdale.  It  is a broad canal because its locks are wide enough to allow boats of 14 feet (4.3 m) width. It runs for 32 miles (51 km) across the Pennines from the Bridgewater Canal at Castlefield Basin in Manchester to join the Calder and Hebble Navigation in West Yorkshire.
