 Blisworth Tunnel BiCentenary Press Release   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
By 1796 the canal had reached Blisworth from Braunston and in 1800 London was connected with Stoke Bruerne, leaving a three-mile gap at first filled by a road (still in use today) followed by a horse-worked iron plateway -- the first railway to be built in the south of England.
The second attempt at building the tunnel was successful, and the Grand Junction Canal became one of the main arteries of Georgian England, and a vital factor in prosecuting the war against Napoleonic France, carrying the supplies for Nelson’s ships and Wellington’s army.
