My local - been here many times but never got into this one.

Designed and built by George Stephenson, the railway linking Northampton with Market Harborough capitalised on the huge amounts of ironstone found in Northamptonshire during the 1850s. At Great Oxendon and Kelmarsh, the route ran through pairs of single bore tunnels. Both Up line structures feature ventilation shafts and now form part of the Brampton Valley Way.

This one is the one that bends.
