Braunston Tunnel
Braunston Tunnel is on the Grand Union Canal about 830 yds (760 m) east of Braunston, Northamptonshire, England top lock. It is in the northern outskirts of Daventry, about 2 km east of the village of Braunston.
Braunston Tunnel is 2,042 yards (1,867 m) in length.〔M. Pearson (2006). ''Pearson's Canal Companion Oxford & Grand Union'' ISBN 0-9549116-2-8〕 Built by Jessop and Barnes, the tunnel has no towpath and is 4.8m wide by 3.76m high.〔Engineering Timelines (2007) http://www.engineering-timelines.com/scripts/engineeringItem.asp?id=149〕
It was opened in 1796. Its construction was delayed by soil movement and it was probably the resulting movement that led to the tunnel having a slight 'S' bend. There is room for two 7 ft (2.13 m) beam boats to pass.〔Nicholson (1983). ''Ordnance Survey Guide to the Waterways 1: South'' ISBN 0319 00347 7〕 There are three air shafts along its length.
The tunnel passes underground alongside another Grand Union Canal feature, Drayton Reservoir, from which the feeder enters the canal at the east end of the tunnel.
