Description
English: Plaque in honour of Thomas Telford This plaque in honour of Thomas Telford was unveild in May 2007

It is located next to the entrance of 2080 The Huddersfield Narrow Canal runs for 20 miles between Huddersfield in West Yorkshire under the Pennines and on to Ashton under Lyne in Greater Manchester. The canal has a total of 74 locks and at its summit the canal is the highest navigable waterway in Britain. Thomas Telford completed the three-mile tunnel in 1811 after 17 years of work and it is one of his most famous achievements.
