Mr Monkey walks the Peak Forest Canal from Romiley to Marple, 19th April


"That's what was making the noise"

Mr Monkey looking at Interstate 5 from his hotel Mr Monkey looking down at a railway tunnel

While he was passing lock No. 4 Mr Monkey heard a rumbling noise. He peered over a wall and found that he was standing on top of a railway tunnel. This took the line from the viaduct - where it was 13 feet above the canal - under the canal and on to Marple station. It was tunnelled 65 years after the canal was built, without breaking the canal.
