==Transport== The town is served by [[Sowerby Bridge railway station]], which sees a regular service to Manchester, Huddersfield (via Brighouse), Bradford and Leeds on the [[Caldervale Line]]. This station has no public toilets although there are many interesting information panels about the local area. The town is at the junction of the [[Calder and Hebble Navigation]] and the [[Rochdale Canal]]; [[Tuel Lane Lock]] on the Rochdale Canal is the deepest lock in the United Kingdom.<ref name=PW>{{cite web|url=http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk/locks.htm|title=Deepest Canal Locks|publisher=Pennine Waterways}}</ref> The canal basin and warehouses where the canals meet, Sowerby Bridge Wharf, are [[listed building]]s and house the Moorings Bar and Restaurant, 12-04 Restaurant and Temujin Mongolian Restaurant. The basin is the headquarters of the 12th Halifax [[Sea Scouts (The Scout Association)|Sea Scouts]] (M.o.D. No. 54 Royal Navy recognised) where [[Charles, Prince of Wales|Prince Charles]] opened the William Andrew Memorial Headquarters. Shire Cruisers run holiday hire canal barges, build narrow boats and provide mooring facilities.
