SHREWLEY SP 26 NW GRAND UNION CANAL
9/10002 Shrewley Tunnel north portal
GV II
Tunnel portal and high-level towpath tunnel (for horses) on same elevation. Late C18 with later alterations. Probably designed by Wm Felkin and Philip Henry Witton for Warwick and Birmingham Canal Co. Brick and stone. Both portals have semi-circular arches, faced with blue-grey engineering bricks. Main portal has a brick band. Towpath tunnel is brick paved and vaulted, with coursed stone and brick walls. Its S entrance has a red brick horseshoe-shaped arch with dripmould keystone and squared stone coping. A very rare example of a canal and towpath tunnel combination.
