Description
The east portal of Farnley Scar Tunnel is a railway tunnel portal that opened in 1834 for the Newcastle-Carlisle line, designed by engineer Francis Giles. It is constructed from squared stone with tooled and margined dressings, featuring a brick soffit. The portal has a round arch with a flat-coped wall above, and the flanking wing walls also have similar coping.
Farnley Scar Tunnel, which is 170 yards long, was one of two tunnels on the Newcastle-Carlisle line, recognized as the earliest cross-country railway in the world. Although the tunnel was bypassed by an adjacent cutting in the later 19th century, it remains in good condition.
