Summary
| Description |
English: The gap in Higham Tunnel The original canal tunnel was continuous,but its great length put constraints on the traffic. Accordingly, a passing place was made at a point where there was a slight declivity above, by opening out a quarry from the surface. The canal tunnel was later converted to a rather awkward dual canal and single track railway partly running on the towpath, and then to double track railway only. The old passing place remains as a densely wooded quarry. The tail end of a London-bound train is seen, in 1975. |
