Thanks, yes it's Putnall Tunnel, the image was part of an exhibition "Lost Labours" on the Stourport Leominster Canal, it was also in an articlwe in Canal & Riverboat magazine about my photography of the canal. The full set are on my website.
As a little boy my dad would hang out with his mates at the 9 locks - then they'd cadge a lift on working barges in return for opening the lock gates. They'd goo off to Worcestershire, 20 or more miles away for the day and return laden with fruit for their mom (working the same trick in reverse). And no-one worried that their little darlings were disappearing over the countryside.
It was dangerous and the opening allowed all sorts of unsavouryness. So knocking it was probably the only solution... and it got a new use as a picnic place. But I too mourn the loss of a landmark of my youth.
I am writing to you on behalf of Magnum photographer Carl De Keyzer.
Carl is photographing the European coast in order to document the rising of water.
In order to help him,
I would ask you some information on that location, on the access to that place and to know if we need some autorization. Thanks by advance for you answer! You can write me to that email : magnum@magnumphotos.fr.
I don't like this photo. In Black and white it makes the valley look bleak and uninviting.
Seen from the Rhigos Mountain road the views of this valley can be quite stunning.

I've seen photot's made since I took this image and all the trees etc have gone now, the whole place is quite different.

Sometime in the late 80's. I'll see if I have a spare copy when I'm next back in the UK, I can check the date too.
