Miley Tunnel, Preston

[awwrisp]

Got there about 12 and spent about 4 hours exploring and taking pics. Was a fairly easy tunnel to do,with the only problem coming from a couple of rats which were as big as horses, lol. Apart from the less than friendly tunnel inhabitants it was a really interesting location and deffo a good tunnel for beginners.

Visited with phill.d & boxfrenzy.

Heres a bit of the history.

The Preston and Longridge Railway (P&LR) was a branch line in Lancashire, England. Originally designed to carry quarried stone in horse-drawn wagons, it became part of an ambitious plan to link the Lancashire coast to the heart of Yorkshire. The plan failed, and the line closed to passengers in 1930 and to goods in 1967.

Thanks for looking...
