Hi All,
I have been doing a lot of research on the abandoned and not very well known Emmet's Canal on the outskirts of Bradford, I have just made a video exploring the remains and the back story for my channel. I was just wandering if anyone had any further information on this canal other than what I have stated in the video. I would like to do a second part with a bit more information. Also, it's claimed in a few different places that this canal was 2 miles in length, however the old maps and conflicting information suggests it was only 1 mile long. Some are suggesting it crossed where the M62 now stands and further beyond.
If you would like to see the video, please use the link below;
