Talk:Lapal Tunnel

message: I have used the modern spelling as used on current OS maps and the British Waterways site. Many books and older documents spell it Lappal with two ps.  I have also used the apparently contemporary name of Dudley No. 2 Canal for the same reason.  Oosoom Talk to me 15:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am also aware of the conundrum. As you point out the place, Lapel, has one p and that occurs in both the one-inch map of Great Britain, Sheet 131, revised 1958-59, the 1:50000 First Series, revised 1972, as well as more recent OS Maps. I've always known the tunnel spell with two ps; and that convention was used by Charles Hatfield in Canals of the West Midlands, 1966. There is no reason why the tunnel and the place cannot have different spellings. The way around the difficulty is to keep the present Lapal Tunnel article and to create a Redirect page Lappal Tunnel for those of use that expect to find it spelt with two ps.Pyrotec 17:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Added as Lapal Tunnel

message: From examination by Google Maps Satellite:
*Limit of navigation Dudley No 2 Canal near Halesowen  
*West portal of Lapal Tunnel (hard to be sure on Google)  
*East portal of Lapal Tunnel  
*Junction of disused canal with Worcester and Birmingham Canal at Selly Oak Junction

replies: text: well looking at the one-inch map, I would put the west portal at SO 9825 8305; so I think the 977 is wrong by a half a square. The east portal appears to be reasonably accurate.Pyrotec 20:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Table reformated and inserted into article. West portal still to be checked against historical OS map. Then midpoint can be calculated.  Oosoom Talk to me 09:16, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Accurate 8 figure NGR read from 1955 6" maps: SO98228309 and SP01718291. Added to PoI table. WGS84 lat/long should really be calculated from these, but added by estimate from Google Satellite view. Apologies to Pyrotec for doubting.  Oosoom Talk to me 20:50, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
