Chirk tunnel from inside

Chirk tunnel from inside
Photo taken from inside the Chirk Tunnel looking towards the aqueduct. The tunnel is designed for a single standard narrowboat, so passing is not possible. On June 8th 2016 the Chirk canal tunnel was closed off as an historic murder probe continued. No body was found here.

TUNEL DE CHIRK DESDE EL INTERIOR?
Amelia si lo escribe bajo la foto, aunque solo sea repetir el título, me lo traduce Ipernity, si no lo pone he de recurrir a un traductor de Google para estar seguro que era lo que creía.

OK. Yes I sometimes have to copy and paste titles and then open a 'Google translate' page so that I can understand the title, so I'm aware of the problem and will try to remember that advice. Thank you, Jose.

Amelia, gracias. Me alegro que hayas tomado mi comentario con esa templanza. Temí que pudiera herir tus sentimientos, cosa que no deseaba. Te lo he dicho a ti, como le pudiera haberlo dicho a muchos otras personas, e incluso a mí mismo, porque nos ocurre a menudo.

I love the textures and the colour contrast in the brickwork, Amelia. I wonder what happened to the body! Kindest regards, Joe

So you took the picture from a boat?

No Volker. There is a towpath running the length of the tunnel. It does get a bit dark, so we rarely walk through the whole tunnel.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. This is the second photo relating to narrowboats I've seen today. And this as I read the book The Narrowboat Summer by Anne Youngson and literally today looked up online if I could ride in a narrowboat when I come to England next year. And now ipernity is filled with them! The book describes the tunnels and your photo helps complete the picture for me. Cool that there is a tow path through that one. I'm assuming they don't all have one inside the tunnel, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks for posting this. It's a great photo on its own and just sparks my interest just that much more.

I'll be posting a photo that shows part of the towpath, and you are right not all canal tunnels have towpaths i n them. If you want a truly amazing experience try en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontcysyllte_Aqueduct which the Chirk aqueduct is part of.

Oh! I thought it carried a train - and now I see it carries water over water! Strange and wonderful. And now I have too much information - mortar, lime, water and ox blood! Crazy!!

The different colours in the brickwork are fascinating to see.
Interesting about the murder probe, it reminds me of Colin Dexter's "The Wench is dead" where old grumpy Morse solves a historic narrowboat murder from his hospital bed;-)
