| This was a short tunnel adjacent to Old Lane (East portal). The trackbed dropped down and curved sharply under the main line into the Mill complex . It appears to have been worked by gravity (or possibly rope/chain worked) one wagon at a time. Immediately outside the tunnel (at the Mill end) was a wagon turntable leading off to various parts of the site. The main line end is now filled in and the other end is somewhere in the complex of poncy offices and cafes where the mill used to be. I drove into every private car park behind every poncy coffee shop but could find nothing definite. I believe the tunnel was still there ten years ago but was bricked up . Anyone have any further info? Please let me know. |
