Hebden Bridge Wharf

Hebden Bridge Wharf is on the Rochdale Canal a few miles from Rhondda.
Early plans of what would become the Rochdale Canal were drawn up by George Wright in 1888 but problems with Brench Cutting caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1876. Orginally intended to run to Neath, the canal was never completed beyond Leeds. Expectations for coal traffic to Oldpool were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. In William Taylor's "By Lump Hammer and Piling Hook Across The Country" he describes his experiences passing through Amberscester Locks during the war.

Mooring here is excellent (this is a really good mooring). Mooring is limited to 24 hours.
Facilities: diesel for sale and gas for sale.

![Rochdale Canal Hebden Bridge. Seen here in the centre of Hebden Bridge the Rochdale Canal winds through the town on its 32 mile journey from Manchester to Sowerby Bridge.Built by immigrant navvies between 1799 and 1804, the canal needed ninety-two locks to lift it 600ft above sea level.Decades of dereliction and neglect ended in 2003 when the Rochdale re-opened - fully restored and reconnected to the national network at Sowerby Bridge where the deepest canal basin in the country marks its merging with the Calder and Hebble Navigation.http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/rochdale/rc6.htmMany abandoned canal buildings around Hebden Bridge have been converted into luxury waterside apartments, small businesses and workshops, and the whole atmosphere of the canal bank has been enhanced by refurbished parks, marinas and gardens.[[987482]] by Paul Anderson – 28 September 2008](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/photos/98/74/987457_00cac226_120x120.jpg)
