Just inside the Netherton Canal Tunnel; 2768 metres long. This tunnel was built between 1855 and 1858; it was the last tunnel of the canal age to be built in this country.

It's wider than most similar tunnels and there is a towpath on each side, although one of them is no longer used. The path is about four feet wide and there is a handrail all along the length.

Along with a group of friends, I walked through this tunnel today; it's very dark and damp, and I was very glad I wasn't alone!

Hi Pam!
I just wanted to say thanks for the comment on my picture from the 8th of may. (I know it´s a little late to reply, but I have been really, really busy during the last few days)! (But have had a lot of fun)!! :-D

Our spring concert, (wich we were rehearsing for on the 8th of may), did indeed go well :-)
There is a youtube video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KnJQLdueA4

I´m the (tall guy with blonde streaks in the hair) in the middle of the picture at the start of the video). ((I´m standing to the left of the man who´s sitting in a high chair. -I.e. on *his* right hand side)).
Bear in mind that the sound is recorded on a pocket digital camera.
It does actually sound much better (or "fuller") in "real life", so to speak) ;-)

-By the way, -very interesting pictures from the tunnel!
-And it does look wider than the tunnels I went through when I rented a 9 person riverboat (sp?) (one of those really long ones) some years ago. (With some friends).
-It was a great trip! :-D

Best regards,
