Entrance to the first Harecastle tunnel on the Grand Trunk (later Trent and Mersey) Canal. Built by the English civil engineer James Brindley (1716-1772) between 1770 and 1777. There was no towpath and the bargees had to leg their boats along the 2,880 yards (2,632.72 metres). Closed after a partial collapse in 1914. From Scenes in England by the Rev. Isaac Taylor, London, 1822. Hand-coloured engraving.
