'''Knowlesands Tunnel ''' (Bridge 32) is the shorter of the two tunnels on the present day SVR, being just over only 40 yards long2 feet in length.<ref name=Marshal>[[Bibliography#Books|Marshall (1989)]] pp. 40, 104. </ref> It is located between on the 1 in 100 climb from [[Bridgnorth]] and towards [[Hampton Loade]], just north of milepost 149, between [[Bridgnorth signal box|Bridgnorth Down Distant and Down Outer Home signals]]. The main B4555 Bridgnorth-Highley road passes over the railway at this location, but the railway is not visible.
On [[Severn Valley Railway Timeline 2000-2009#2000|5 November 2000]] torrential rain caused a major landslip at the Bridgnorth end of the tunnel with 3 lengths of track left hanging in space and the embankment spread across the field below. Contractors completed the reinstatement later that month<ref>SVR News 134</ref>.
