M62 Castleton - service tunnel construction

            The tunnel was built to service a farm near the Rochdale Canal  (behind the camera).. When the M62 was built the Rochdale Canal was culverted in a narrow pipe near this point

Over 30 years later the canal was reopened for traffic and was re-routed through the service tunnel in the photo. 

 This also caused 1-2 "issues" at the time with a local farmer.

 - the rerouting, and other works, have been very successful in helping make the Rochdale Canal navigable again from Sowerby Bridge to Manchester.
