LNER steamer enters the Bramhope Tunnel, England, 1929


A view of the crenellated north portal by Linda Spashett

The tunnel, 2.14 miles (3.44 km) long, was constructed by the Leeds & Thirsk Railway and opened in 1849. The railway included several major structures including this tunnel. The line is no longer a through 'main line' to the North East, but is still in use as the branch to Harrogate and York. (photo showing a 4-4-2 'Atlantic' type in 1929 via Mike Ashworth collection)
