Oxenhall Tunnel

In 1991 the Trust commenced restoration of the Canal at the south portal of Oxenhall Tunnel. With Waterway Recovery Group assistance efforts were made to lower the water level and rebuild the towpath.

 

Later, in 1994, the south portal of Oxenhall tunnel was cleared of vegetation and a start made on rebuilding the damaged portal structure. Work on the portal continued until it was completed in 1998.

 

In 1996, the canal channel was dredged along a 290m length between Cold Harbour Lane and end of the tunnel. All dredgings were spread on adjacent land giving the owner an extra acre of usable land.
