    Default Newbold tunnel - Rugby

    I've just got off crutches following an accident and have been dying to get out after a month sitting around bored so decided to go on a light explore up the road from me. The ¼ mile long Newbold Tunnel is over 180 years old and was built during the shortening of the Oxford Canal in the 1820s.
    The coloured spotlights were added a few years back and make for some spectacular effects.
