The start of the new tunnel

Background
1984 saw the construction of the first British canal tunnel for over 120 years.

The work, carried out inside the historic Dudley Tunnel, provided a new underground canal link to the intriguing Singer Cavern limestone mine.

Providing a rarely seen glimpse of underground construction techniques, this DVD is of interest to Civil Engineers and mining and canal enthusiasts alike.
