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.
