The section of the Calder & Hebble Navigation was completed
in 1770.
Andy Eccles tells me
The navigation left the canal cut from Brighouse at Brookfoot where
it entered the River Calder and travelled upstream through Tag Cut
and back into the Calder at its western end, to Elland, where it
again joined a canal cut near to Elland weir which took the traffic
back into the Calder at West Vale.
This was the route of the navigation until the current canal cut
between Brookfoot and Salterhebble was completed between 1805-1808.
Several elderly inhabitants of Rastrick recall playing at the western
entrance to Tag Cut where a man named Fred Craddock hired
rowing boats for use on the river
The name comes from the ghost Tag.
