Colne (West Yorkshire)

    0.04 sec.

Colne

River in West Yorkshire, England; length 21 km/13 mi. It rises in the Pennines at Standedge and runs northeast through Marsden, Slaithwaite, Linthwaite, and Huddersfield to join the River Calder near Mirfield. The string of small towns west of Huddersfield support woollen, textile, and engineering industries.

In the Colne Valley there is a railway line from Manchester to Huddersfield and Leeds, and a disused canal. Many reservoirs supplying water to West Yorkshire towns are found within the catchment area of the river.
