The Tale of Pennar Tunnel
This short film tells many stories about a village, coal and iron, disaster and the canal. The animations are superb and the voice overs are just brilliant. Well done everyone at Pentwynmawr Primary School.

My grandfather was born in 1882. He was lock keeper on the Kennet and Avon Canal, his lock cottage was on Freemans Marsh, Hungerford at Cobblers Lock. He died in 1955.

Good mr.tom...........ur vdo helpful and best...!!!
The one thing missing is: why dahell do we need that in the 1st place?!
Thank you very much for the video. When the Mullai Periyar Dam in Southern India was constructed, (1885-1895) Colonel John Pennycuick R.E. England, has done some material conveyance by canal system, in which some locks are operated. But no pictures of lock. On studying how the locks are, I found this video is much suited. When the dam was completed all the structures submerged.
Very well documented Tom, it makes a nice approach for those who have never done canal boating before.
Thank you kindly for the lesson on living in the days of the Ohio Canal.
His accent tho
such a simple concept for fixing a horrible issue. love it
Great video 👌👌
i have always been fascinated with canals to ever since puberty at 35 i think im still in puberty. LOL
Very good video, I quite enjoyed it. Thanks a lot:)But who opens and who closes the gates? Somehow I missed it... The people on the boat or professional people on the banks?
Never knew what a lock was until tonight....Thanks to you now I know how they work!
Thank you for this educational video, it benefited me greatly.
I love locks, don't you?
You may not not know it, but you have inspired a whole class to join the canal alliance, I could not thank you more.
viva la canal!
Oh, the memories...
A great video, I learned a lot. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the comment - very much appreciated.
Fantastic work and a great film. Well done.
Fantastic! Well done to all involved.
You are quite right water will find its own level, but engineers design canals with this in mind so that water levels are maintained.
Doesn't water find its own level anyway?
Very happy indeed to have a link with Enid Blyton - glad you both enjoyed the video.
Glad that you like the video and the channel. Thanks for taking the time to post a comment.
Thank you for your kind comments.
This video could not have been made better. If only all informational UA-cam videos were this good. Straight to the point and done with a little flare. Thanks
