The section of the Calder & Hebble Navigation was completed in 1770.
Andy Eccles tells me
Tag Cut formed part of the original Calder & Hebble Navigation carrying river traffic from Brighouse to Elland and beyond (and vice versa).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.

He, his wife Doreen [née Georgeson], and their 18-month-old daughter Kateryna lived at 59 Towngate, Sowerby.
In 1955, they were troubled by rushing noises, jangling pots and other poltergeist activities in the kitchen at their home. The living room also turned icy cold, even though the fire was well ablaze at the time, causing the dog to whimper and seek refuge beneath the sofa.
The Mary and Herbert Smithson family, who lived next door at 57 Towngate, also heard banging and noises from the house over a period of time. They complained to Doreen and Bogdan, thinking they were moving their furniture around, but the noises continued even when the house was vacant.
A group of local men – water diviner Mr Quain, Peter Bohen and Colin Jowett – spent a night in the house, and reported being dragged towards the party wall of the house.
The disturbances became so great that Doreen and their daughter went to spend the night at her parents' home at 53 Towngate, Sowerby, and Bogdan went to sleep in 15/- per week lodgings in Halifax.

- telling his scholars when they make bad Latin – that's just like the presbyterians' sermons i.e. nonsense,
- telling them that the presbyterians got the old king's favour, and then cut off his head, making his scholars to put into their themes,
- versifying most basely drolling upon us, father, forgive him he knows not what he doth
