Netherton Canal Tunnel
The last tunnel built at a cost of over £300,000 it opened on the 20th of August 1858. It was built with two tow paths and wide enough for two boats. Thus it eased congestion in the narrow Dudley tunnel that had to be legged through. It's over 2.5km long, straight and now unlit. Take a torch!
