Here's a little puzzle for you on the run up to New Year's Eve...

 

What is this canal feature and where is it?

 

 

I will publish another photo of this feature, from a different angle, in a day or so if you need more of a clue.

I haven't heard of "Lock side Lucy". Would you care to enlighten me?

You were lucky to get a photograph, many have tried, but she's normally very camera shy!

In that case it was rash of you to mention her.

Blimey it's like being back at skool, it was always my fault then

[steve hayes]

Please sir, I've got my hand up

 

I think it might be the tunnel under the disused railway by the Bird in Hand Stourport on the Staff & Worcs.

 

Please sir, it was Richard I saw him sir

Possibly a horse tunnel, like the one under the GU at Cosgrove, but if so I have no idea where this one is.....

Given the stonework (and your website) I assume this is somewhere up north?

Sorry, Steve.

'Horse tunnel' is good but 'Cosgrove' is less so.

I think it's fair to make that assumption, David!

Yes tempted to follow Dave Mack's lead having looked at your website and therefore at a loss

Can't think of anything like this on the Rochdale or Huddersfield (but I could be wrong), so I'm minded to think Ashton/Peak Forest or perhaps Hollinwood Branch...

Yes, I knew the last bit......

 

Something more like this, I suspect, but probably not that one, (even the other end of it!....)

Could we be talking far up north... on the Caledonian?

Did you know that there are two tunnels at Cosgrove? Do you know where the second one is?

Edited to add: Obviously its at Cosgrove but its precise location?

This is the other end of that one

 

 

and it's a different shape

 

[MartinClark]

There is a reason for that - it's not on my website yet but will be shortly. I thought it would be interesting to see if anyone could identify it here before I add it to the site.

 

Can't think of anything like this on the Rochdale or Huddersfield (but I could be wrong), so I'm minded to think Ashton/Peak Forest or perhaps Hollinwood Branch...

 

Sounds like you're clutching at straws, there....

You're right - it's not that one!

[MartinClark]

and it's a different shape

 

 

...and you're also right, John, that it's not that one as it has a different shape!

Nah - this one has got much more headroom!

[the grinch]

i'm tempted to go for Alton tunnel on the uttoxeter canal as a pure guess. its amazingly hard to google disused canal tunnels!!

Doesn't look to be next to any water ... could it be a footpath tunnel underneath a canal - Stonework looks a bit like L&L perhaps, though I don't know where... or possibly a bit of the Bradford Canal close to shipley Junction...
