River Colne, Marsden - a photo on Flickriver

            The River Colne is formed by the confluence of Haigh Brook and Redbrook at a spot called Close Gate or Eastergate Bridge in the Pennines near Marsden.

It flows eastwards through the Colne Valley, passing through towns like Marsden, Slaithwaite, Milnsbridge, and Huddersfield before joining the River Calder at Cooper Bridge.

Major tributaries include Wessenden Brook, Bradley Brook, Crimble Brook, Mag Brook, Fenay Brook, New Mill Dike and the River Holme.

Historically, the soft, acidic waters were well-suited for producing high quality woollen and cotton cloth in the Colne Valley mills.

The Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Huddersfield Line railway, and A62 road follow the course of the river through the valley.

While factories along the river provide jobs, some have caused pollution issues that the Environment Agency monitors.
In 2010, a chemical factory fire caused waste to enter the river and canal, killing many fish.
