Little Cut
Tunnel remains on the Little Cut
- ... that the Little Cut, a quarter-mile branch of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, had the only tunnel containing a towpath (remains pictured) on the entire 127-mile canal? "another branch of a quarter of a mile runs off southward..." (Priestley, 1831, p420); "a branch on the east side of the canal [...] has a tunnel with a footpath, the only such tunnel on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal" (Fisher, 2009, p236)

Article new enough (moved from userspace today) and long enough. Reads neutral, and quite interesting.- Passes Earwig's copyvio test.
- Hook is interesting, and fewer than 200 characters. Verified at [1] and [2]. Assuming good faith for refs I can't access; reference 10 ([3]) confirms "Little Cut"; otherwise the other names seem more commonly used...
- I like and prefer the use of the image.
- Nice work, MIDI! One thing I would add (though not required for DYK) is the coordinates of the canal. = paul2520 (talk) 17:00, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
