![Oxenhall canal tunnel: southern portal. Oxenhall Tunnel was completed in 1798, but the canal it was built for was out competed by the railways from an early point in its history and never really made any money. Construction cost far more than predicted during the first phase of construction which saw the canal open only as far as Ledbury which remained the terminus of the canal for forty years. The canal eventually opened as far as Hereford in 1845, but had cost well over three times the original estimate and the canal company began almost immediately to try and sell the canal to a railway company. In 1862 the canal was leased to the Great Western Railway and in 1881, they closed the southern half of the canal and converted much of it to the Gloucester - Ledbury line. The tunnel pictured here was never used by rail traffic, the GWR sensibly deciding to bypass it altogether and avoid the problems of enlarging it for railway use. An interesting footnote is that the canal company received rent for the route from the GWR which was distributed to shareholders as dividends; this arrangement continued until the nationalisation of the railways in 1948.There's an active restoration scheme for the canal. David Stowell's [[[3682]]] shows the same scene in 1997, just after extensive work by the Hereford & Gloucester Canal Trust. Sadly, this stretch of canal is not in their ownership and the canal has become very overgrown in the 14 years between his photo and mine. by John Winder – 04 September 2011](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/99/77/5997716_e812ec7f_120x120.jpg)
