Hill Railway Route
Blisworth Heritage Society © 2024
Between 1800 and 1805, whilst the Tunnel was being built, all goods were
transshipped at Blisworth and Stoke Bruerne and carried over the hill by a dual
track horse drawn tramway, designed by Benjamin Outram. The tramway was a
total of about 5.6km long. Your can still follow the route of the Blisworth end along
footpath on the western side of the canal from Grafton House to above the Tunnel
entrance. For more info click here
