'Narrow' closed again

Published: Monday, 18 August 2014

A BOAT became stuck in a Huddersfield Narrow lock yesterday, Sunday, with the waterway now closed until it can be removed.

This is a fairly regular occurrence as the Huddersfield Narrow locks need a crew's full attention, with 74 locks over a distance of just 20 miles, and some needing attention.

This time the boat is fast in Lock 32E Pig Tail Lock at the start of the Marsden Flight.

However, CaRT tells us in its advice notice: Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Navigation: Open, Towpath: Open!
