view of the western entrance to james morgan's 1814-18 tunnel from the viewing platform, currently closed off.

western entrance to the tunnel built between 1814-18 by the canal's own engineer james morgan which runs from muriel street to colebrooke row underneath the hill topped by the angel.

view down the tunnel from the western end. built between 1814-18 by the canal's own engineer james morgan, and opened in 1820 with brass bands and cannon fire. at 960 yards I think that this is the longest canal tunnel in london, and probably the longest still in use in the south east. there's no tow path, barges had to be legged through originally by bargees lying on top and walking against the roof.

reflections under kingsland road bridge from the canal towpath. this section of the canl looks to date from the 1820s.
