Is it true that the sun shines through the Box Tunnel (near Bath) on Brunel's birthday. Has anyone photographed it?

We covered this in a History class when I was in school (many years ago!). Supposedly Isambard Kingdom Brunel finished digging the tunnel on his birthday - although this is more credited to luck than timing. So, yes, the sun is supposed to shine throught the tunnel on his birthday.
