Narrowboat approaching Preston Brook Tunnel, Cheshire
This canal tunnel at the southern end of the Bridgewater Canal link is 1239 yards (1133 metres) in length, is only wide enough for a narrowboat, and is not quite straight. There is no towpath, so horses were led across the hill to the other end. Before steam and diesel engined boats, the men legged the vessels though the tunnel. The north portal is shown in this image.
10 metres into the tunnel the waterway transforms into the Trent and Mersey canal Canal. North bound boats enter the tunnel on the hour until ten minutes past. South bound boats enter the tunnel at half past the hour, until forty minutes past. It takes about twenty minutes to take a narrowboat through the tunnel.
