Description
The eastern tunnel entrance to the underground canal, built around 1760 by James Brindley, features a segmental-arched brick lining and is carved out of the rock face. It is mostly obscured by undergrowth. This entrance marks the start of approximately 46 miles of underground canal that was used for coal extraction until the late 19th century. It opens into the Delph and connects directly to the Duke of Bridgewater's canal network. The site is also designated as a scheduled ancient monument.
