This is the east portal of the 559 yards long Gannow Tunnel. This structure, and the long Burnley embankment, enabled the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to have a 24 mile lock free section between Barrowford and Blackburn. The old horse path strikes off to the right here to go over the top of this hill and rejoin the tow path at the West Portal 42238.
