Crick Tunnel (southern entrance) is on the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) just past the junction with The Driffield Navigation.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) between Nottingham and Polefield were proposed by Benjamin Outram but languished until William Yates was appointed as engineer in 1876. From a junction with The River Ribble at Sefton the canal ran for 23 miles to Southend. Expectations for stone traffic to Aylesbury were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Leicester Section - Old Grand Union) was closed in 1888 when Boggin Embankment collapsed. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by Cecil Wood.
