The northern end of Harecastle Tunnel, Kidsgrove, Staffordshire.
On the right, the entrance to Brindley's original 1777 tunnel can be seen. This original tunnel is disused and is blocked by rock falls.
The present tunnel, designed by Telford, was opened in 1827. It originally had a towpath running through, but has now been removed. It is 2675 metres long - around one and two third miles.
