The Tunnel Past

The cover of the Queensbury Lines' Parliamentary plans.

Taken during the tunnel's construction, this is the view towards the southern entrance with a temporary bridge spanning Strines cutting.

The view looking south from the portal as the cutting curves into the distance.

A classic view of Queensbury triangle, with the colliery tramway navigating its way under it.

A gang of platelayers fettle the track near the tunnel's northern entrance.

In recent times a rockfall partly blocked the entrance at the south end.

Flooding has long since affected Strines cutting.
