Leek Tunnel, Caldon Canal, Leek Branch, 1978 The west end of the narrow but high tunnel, 120 m long. We went through to the then limit of navigation, where a dredger and barge and what they were removing were blocking further progress - see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1616909">SJ9754 : Last bridge on the Leek Branch, 1978</a> - and had to reverse back, including through the tunnel, because there was nowhere to wind. There is a big pool at this end of the tunnel, fortunately.

North of last bridge, Caldon Canal, Leek Branch, 1978 Looking from the bridge. There was a dredger and spoil barges just south of the bridge, presumably working north, but unattended at the time (Sunday). The winding hole on the left, when cleared out, was the last place full length boats could wind.
