Haslingden Canal

Haslingden Canal

The Haslingden Canal was a proposed canal link between the Bury arm of the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal in Greater Manchester, England, and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Accrington, England. Authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1794, the canal was not built.

The proposed canal would have been broad gauge, convert|13|mi|km|0 in length, and would have used an inclined plane in place of locks.
