While Land Girls worked the fields during WWII, ‘Idle Women’ ran our canals. This undeserved nickname is derived from the initials ‘IW’, for Inland Waterways.

Greywell Tunnel. Standing at 1280 yards, it marks the now end of the Basingstoke Canal. Perhaps if this had remained maybe Basingstoke would have looked very different now, with its own Wharf. The tunnel now contains Europe's second largest population of Natterer Bats.
