Description
The tunnel under the railway embankment, built around 1835, was designed by George Stephenson for the Hartlepool Dock and Railway Company. It features ashlar stone construction with ashlar dressings. The horse-shoe shaped tunnel is lined with ashlar and has a rusticated archway at each end. The north archway includes chamfered coping, side pilasters topped with ball finials, and angled sloping side walls made of rock-faced ashlar with ashlar coping, along with short terminating piers that also have ball finials. The south archway is similar but has plain ashlar sloping side walls without the terminating piers.
