The Huddersfield Broad Canal (also known by its original name Sir John Ramsden’s Canal) is a wide-locked navigable canal in Yorkshire in northern England. The waterway is 3.75 miles (6 km) long and has 9 wide locks. It follows the valley of the River Colne and connects the Calder and Hebble Navigation at Cooper Bridge junction with the Huddersfield Narrow Canal at (or near) Aspley Basin in the centre of Huddersfield. Construction was authorised in 1774 and the canal opened two years later.
