Description
Curdworth Tunnel is located on the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, approximately 120 meters northeast of Curdworth Bridge. This tunnel and its portals date from the late 18th century and are likely the work of the engineer John Smeaton. The structure features red brick facing on natural stone, with a semi-circular arch and a plain low parapet along with a retaining wall. There are some patches of engineering brick repairs present. The tunnel includes a towpath with ridged brick "horse treads" designed to reduce slipping, as well as a wrought iron safety rail. This tunnel is a relatively early example of canal tunnel engineering, and the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal was completed by 1794.
