An Entity of Type: waterway tunnel, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Sapperton Canal Tunnel is a tunnel on the Thames and Severn Canal near Cirencester in Gloucestershire, England. With a length of 3,817 yards (3,490 m), it was the longest tunnel of any kind in England from 1789 to 1811. Boats passed through by legging until 1911. The canal was abandoned by 1933 and subsequent roof falls mean that it is no longer navigable. Cotswold Canals Trust have proposed restoration.

  • The Sapperton Canal Tunnel is a tunnel on the Thames and Severn Canal near Cirencester in Gloucestershire, England. With a length of 3,817 yards (3,490 m), it was the longest tunnel of any kind in England from 1789 to 1811. Construction, following an Act of Parliament, began in 1784. Twenty-six shafts were dug along the line of the tunnel and workfaces dug in each direction eventually joining up before the diameter of the tunnel was expanded. Difficulties were encountered related to strata of Great Oolite (solid limestone) and Fuller's Earth clay. These caused roof falls and narrowing of the channel which continued after the tunnel opened in 1789 and required frequent maintenance. The stone portals at either end are listed buildings. Boats passed through by legging until 1911. The canal was abandoned by 1933 and subsequent roof falls mean that it is no longer navigable. Cotswold Canals Trust have proposed restoration. (en)
  • Il tunnel canale Sapperton è un tunnel sul canale Tamigi - Severn, vicino a Cirencester, Gloucestershire, in Inghilterra. Era il tunnel canale più lungo, e il tunnel più lungo di qualunque tipo in Inghilterra dal 1789 al 1811. La galleria fu aperta nel 1789 dopo cinque anni di lavori, e ha una lunghezza di 3.490 m. Non ha l'alzaia. Attraverso il tunnel passavano le narrowboat, imbarcazioni lunghe e strette, trasportate mediante legging. Nel 1811 fu superata come lunghezza dal tunnel (4.989 m.), che resta il più alto, più lungo e profondo canale-tunnel in Gran Bretagna, sebbene, a differenza di Sapperton, il tunnel Standedge può accogliere soltanto narrowboats con larghezza di 210 cm. Il tunnel Sapperton non è attualmente navigabile, ma il suo restauro è stato proposto dal Cotswold Canals Trust come parte del loro progetto di riaprire il tratto dal Tamigi al Severn. Tale consorzio organizza gite turistiche in barca attraverso il tunnel, nei mesi invernali. (it)
