From
there, the Pennine Moonraker heads along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal towards
the first of two locks - the Dunge Booth Lock. |
At
the Dunge Booth Lock the boatmen open the lock gates and the boat is then
raised to the next level. |

The
Pennine Moonraker then heads towards the next lock, the Limekiln Lock, which
lies beneath the Trans-Pennine railway viaduct (Saddleworth Viaduct) at
Brownhill. |
From
Limekiln Lock the boat passes behind the Brownhill Visitor Centre and under
the Brownhill Bridge and enters the wharf area of the Wool Road Transhipment
Warehouse. |
