The Basingstoke Canal
This canal was never a commercial success. Most of it is open following a restoration project, but the final part through to Basingstoke is abandoned following the partial collapse of Greywell tunnel many years ago.
This is the western portal of Greywell Tunnel. Partly blocked by earth and securely behind a steel cage - through which I poked my camera. There seems to be at least one boat in there!
