1796 May 3rd. Tunnel opened. 'On Tuesday the grand tunnel on the Leeds and Liverpool canal, at Foulridge, between Coln and Burnley, was opened, when the packet boat and several of the vessels belonging to the Leeds and Burnley Union company, with a number of ladies and gentlemen, attended by a band of music, passed through it, and proceeded down to Burnley, accompanied the whole way by a crowd of people. What added to the pleasing circumstance, one the vessels was laden with grain.'[1]
