Malmesbury Tunnel
The 96 yard tunnel in the background may now be a dead end, but it is lit; and has been used for parties, dramatic productions, and filming. It is currently for sale, along with the house above it. It was built by an apprentice to Brunel, and is said to be the first tunnel West of Paddington on the GWR. The water in the foreground is the Tetbury branch of the River Avon.
