Hi All
I though I'd put up a few pictures from a few days out that ended up looking at derelict railway tunnels.
Both tunnels are on the M&SWJR (midland and south western joint railway). The line was started around
1873 and started to get closed down from 1964 onwards
As you can imagine the tunnels have been sealed to save our "Batty" mates but some shots of the insides
are still possible.
enjoy:-
First off is the tunnel at Chedworth in Gloucestershire.
This shot is looking north. (oh with a "Fluffy" in the shot)
Then looking through the bars to the curved tunnel.
Then a trip out the other day looking for Wiltshire ROC posts ended up with me and a mate going to find
the tunnel next to Savernake forest.
This is the deep cutting leading to the south portal
Then again taken through the bars on top of the back fill looking in to the tunnel.
Thanks for looking there are one or two more pictures on my FlickR site if you want to see them go to
