The northern portal of the 28m long tunnel. Really a long bridge without a towpath though longer than Dunsley, at 21m the shortest tunnel on the canal system. It s not clear why it extended about 9m further both sides of the original road than was needed to accommodate it. Grid Ref: SP 7789 4118 [GD-003-330]Old A5 Tunnel, Old Stratford 1988
