Netherton 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!
This is a 20 second exposure without a tripod, I plan to go again with one as some fantastic photographs are possible.

One of the air shafts, this one is wet but others are dry.
Cobb's Engine House
A view of the scheduled ancient monument, one of the earliest pumps. Due to a fault (geological) the mine here produced vast quantities of water. This engine pumped it into the canal. The overgrown spoil heap is to the right.
The mine produced coal and fireclay (seat earth).
