Dist:0.5km<br/>The last tunnel built at a cost of over £300,000 it opened on the 20th of August 1858. It was built with two tow paths and wide enough for two boats. Thus is eased congestion in the narrow Dudley tunnel that had to be legged through. Its over 2.5km long, straight and now unlit. Take a torch! This is a 20 second exposure without a tripod, I plan to go again with one as some fantastic photographs are possible.

One of the air shafts, this one is wet but others are dry.
