The retractable bollards didn't remain in operation very long there.

  They look new in November 2014 and no obvious sign of them in November 2015 ...

spacer.pngCurdworth Tunnel

Portal: North East

Method of working: One way traffic

Maximum craft size:

2.13m / 6ft 11" Beam

1.98m / 6' 5" Air draft

Approximate travel time through tunnel: 1 min

...

 

Asking the nice MrGoogle to convert 7ft to metres gives 2.13 (rounded to two decimal places). Then converting 2.13 back to imperial  gives less than seven foot .....

 

52metres in 1 min is just under 2mph.
