ST3087 : Closeup view of the southern portals of Hillfield tunnels, Newport
taken 14 years ago, near to Maes-Glas, Newport/Casnewydd, Wales
Closeup view of the southern portals of Hillfield tunnels, Newport
A zoomed view taken from a footbridge. The older portal on the right was opened in 1848 as part of the Gloucester to Carmarthen broad gauge route, built by the South Wales Railway and sponsored by the Great Western Railway. The portal on the left is a much later addition, when the route was widened to 4 tracks. The year 1910 is inscribed in stone above the portal.
