- description
- Canal tunnel, by James Edwards. Erected 1790. Materials: Built in brick. Description: The tunnel is 357m long, 3.7m wide and is blocked 205m from the south portal by a mound of chalk and clay. The tunnel as constructed was 3.7m from invert to crown. Above the mound is a ladder leading to a concrete lined vertical tunnel and inspection hatch. Exterior: The northern portal of the tunnel is of brick and comprises a small parapet in stretcher bond over a semicircular stilted arch with brick voussoirs and brick spandrels. The parapet is restrained by two iron tie bolts held in place by crossed anchor plates. Part of the left (east) side of the face of the arch has collapsed. The southern portal lacks a parapet and comprises a brick semicircular stilted arch with brick voussoirs, many of which are missing. Since the closure of the canal, the water level has risen above the imposts of the arch and the sides are no longer visible. Interior: The tunnel is lined with brick in header bond but was not accessed beyond the entrance of the south portal.
