This photograph, taken from the Blisworth
                                       end of Blisworth Tunnel, shows the other
                                       end which has been magnified to give an
                                       impression of length at only 305 yards rather
                                       than the actual 3056* yards - more details
                                       * - also given as 3076 yards.
