My bid for freedom has failed. My request to be considered for voluntary redundancy was turned down. I wasn't surprised, and so I was only mildly disappointed. I suppose it's gratifying to be wanted.
This means, of course, that any extended bouts of boating are still some time in the future. We're not giving up the boat search, though.
And so to the clue. I'm asking for identification of the tunnel to which this ventilation shaft belongs. It's not Netherton, Braunston, Blisworth, Crick or Harecastle (the guesses so far).

It's probably Gosty Hill. Probably the one in a front garden. Nicely seen here: http://www.waterwayroutes.co.uk/images/months/07/0709/070903_1049_800_gosty_hill_tunnel.jpg

Bill, you're right. It is Gosty Hill Tunnel where the ventilation shaft pops up right in front of a house, dominating the small front garden.
