I used to walk through this tunnel almost every Sunday with my grandad in the mid and late seventies. I loved it in there , it felt haunting and exciting. I really enjoyed the video and seeing in there again.
Very interesting. Walked this tunnel when it was all free and open in 1997. In the east end cutting, a brick arch bridge had been demolished and lumps of arch shaped rubble were still lying around.
Nice little tunnel to add to my bucket list. Condition looks fair, probably mining subsidence has caused a bit of movement at the section joints. These tunnels were generally built in about 5m sections & movement can be taken up by the joint. Looks like it has an invert too; that is the brickwork runs right under the floor so the tunnel is a complete brick lined tube. Nice little brick arch drain. The far end is blocked with steel reinforced concrete, & the wood above is the remsins of the formwork into which the concrete was poured.
Definitely ! Yh it needs to be sealed properly in my eyes I was deffo unaware of the condition inside I would have worn a hard hat never wanted to leave a tunnel so fast !
Interesting. Subsidence has clearly affected it, but its not falling in anytime soon. It was built back when things were meant to be permanent. No more mining so no more subsidence is likely. From the graffiti and rubbish, its been well used over the years by visitors
Great video. Well done and brave for going inside. I think if you gave gradients in 1 in 250 etc instead of a percentage, most of us would be able to picture this with a clearer understanding.
Got my first trials bike christmas 1986 rode in the tunnel boxing day great memories you brought back thanks

Thank you glad you enjoyed it ! Lukily a way in to be able to still see the current state 😃
Interesting tunnel looks like linear movement also looking back to the entrance a definite shape change. Excellent coverage thanks for sharing 👍👍

Thank you ! 😃
Thank you very much for the upload.
Absolutely agree!! That tunnel is an accident waiting to happen. Braver than me to venture in there, and amazed its not sealed at both ends.
Definitely ! Yh it needs to be sealed properly in my eyes

Damn, that tunnel is a sleeping, crumbling nightmare! Just glad you both got out intact (unlike the tunnel)

I use to lek in there in 80s when I was a younger good old days
It’s so dangerous in there
@@exploringthepastandthepres9793 they have been saying it's going to cave in for the last forty years
Nice video. Is the out side of the other portal not accessible to view?
Unfortunately no it’s all been blocked off and Infilled 😢

Thank you for the feedback 😃😃 always take points in board aswell thank you
I'm sure Aston means a gradient of 1 in 100 hear and not a percentage.
How did you get in there it shows all grids on it but your inside
There was a little gap on the metal grid big enough to get through
Not there I’ve been today fully secured shame great video though
@@Walkwithpaul1 probably a little hard to spot
