Kielders "super moles"will today put the lid on their record breaking
Kielders " super moles" will today put the lid on their record breaking tunnelling feat. For the past six years workmen have been beavering away underground to forge a 17 mile channel which will carry water from Europes largest man made lake. Today they will see their hard work sealed underground as Kielder boss John Ritson shuts the final hatches on the 38m tunnel. The mammoth construction will carry water from the vast Kielder reservoir to an outlet in the River tees at Eggleston. Pictured, John Ritson closes one of the tunnel doors before the water flows. 10th March 1982

Kielder's 'Super Moles' Complete Record-Breaking Tunnelling Feat
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print from 10th March 1982, we witness the culmination of six years of tireless underground work by Kielder's remarkable team of 'super moles'. These dedicated workers have successfully forged a staggering 17-mile channel beneath the earth's surface, destined to carry water from Europe's largest man-made lake. Today marks a significant milestone as Kielder boss John Ritson takes charge and seals the final hatches on the monumental tunnel. The image captures Mr. Ritson in action, closing one of these doors before allowing the life-giving water to flow through. The mammoth construction project is designed to transport water from the vast Kielder reservoir all the way to an outlet in River Tees at Eggleston. This ambitious endeavor will not only benefit communities along its path but also contribute towards meeting growing demands for freshwater resources. This photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination, showcasing how humans can harness their skills and expertise to reshape nature itself. It stands as a symbol of progress and achievement in Northumberland's rich history. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us acknowledge and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and unwavering spirit that went into creating this engineering marvel – forever etching its mark on both our landscape and collective memory.
