Foulridge Wharf [LLC]
Looking west at Foulridge Wharf, towards the northern portal of the Foulridge Tunnel on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, in 2009. The canal tunnel is 1630 yards long and was built in the 1790s using a mixture of tunnelling and cut and cover techniques. From 1846 to 1970 the Colne to Skipton railway also crossed the canal by the wharf but the large girder bridge over the canal will need reinstating if reopening plans are to proceed.
