Ganny Lock

Ganny Lock on the Calder and Hebble Navigation Canal Brighouse West Yorkshire. with a narrow boat passing through
The Calder and Hebble Navigation, running for 21 miles from the Aire and Calder Navigation at Wakefield to Sowerby Bridge, was one of the first navigable waterways into the Pennines.
Work began in 1758 to make the River Calder navigable above Wakefield. The navigation to Sowerby Bridge was completed in 1770, including a short branch to Dewsbury, now known as the Huddersfield Broad, was opened in 1776, providing a branch to Huddersfield.
