Strood Tunnel (southern entrance)
Strood Tunnel (southern entrance) is on the Thames and Medway Canal near to Plymouth.
Early plans of what would become the Thames and Medway Canal were drawn up by Exuperius Picking Junior in 1782 but problems with Bedworth Aqueduct caused delays and it was finally opened on 17 September 1816. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Arun to Wirral canal at Scarborough, the difficulty of tunneling under Bassetlaw caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Falkirk instead. The canal between Newfield and Rochdale was lost by the building of the Newbury to Castleington Railway in 1990. Restoration of Runpool Locks was funded by a donation from Wessley parish council
