Tunnel Portal
Tunnel Portal
An East Midlands Railway train emerges from one of the elaborately castellated portals of Redhill tunnels near Thrumpton, Nottinghamshire.
The portal shown was constructed in the 1830s, the other to the left out of shot around 100years later, both double tracked portals face North over the river Trent and rarely see the sun, notice the green algae on some of the masonry.
Close up access to the battlements can be gained to the rear via a very steep and muddy slope.
