Default Old rail tunnel - Chequerbent - April 2011 - 05-04-2011, 23:19

I don't know much info on this tunnel, but it runs underneath the (i think) old Bolton - Leigh line. Kenni can do a better description later in the thread, he knows a bit more about it than I do

Unfortunately it was locked at both ends so we were unable to get inside (booo!) but managed to sneak a few crafty shots through the gaps. Inside is what looks like three huge water main pipes, a bit of dumped general crap, and a comfy looking armchair

The night was not all lost, because we also found a really good looking stone culverted stream, its only tiny maybe 2-3' high and the same wide but it looks amazing. We're going back to that one when its a bit drier!

Tunnel pics......













And our little bonus, the entrance to the culvert....





please excuse the shakiness of some of those pics, I really need a tripod!
