| If you're going, look for the chimney, cross the road, jump over the wall, then over the little wall and down to the West portal of the tunnel. |
Or just go from the staion site (the shiny new car park) through the bridge to the East portal (less adventurous and less interesting - but easier!) |
The East portal again, the Mill tunnel dropped down to the right of the mainline and went underneath to come out in the Mill complex. |

Closer to the East portal. |
Looking out of the East portal, through the gate, towards the station (car park). |
It was clearly cut and cover with stone walls either side and masonary built over the top. The profile changes several times. |
Close up of the stone retaining wall and the masonary cover. |

| The tunnel is very clear and dry exceopt for one spring coming through the North wall and almost immediately dissapearing underground, presumably into the tunnel drainage. |
Another minor profile change. Could it be that the tunnel was extended piecemeal to its current length to allow for industrial development to take place over it? |
Towards the West end the brickwork reaches the ground so this may have been bored? |
Inside the West portal. |
All the GN tunnels in the area have these chain markers on the walls. |
