Description
The South Entrance Arch to Prestbury Railway Tunnel, built in 1845 by G.W. Buck for the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, is a notable railway tunnel entrance arch made of buff sandstone ashlar. The center of the facade projects forward from the rubble revetment walls and features raking rusticated quoins. It includes a horseshoe-shaped arch with a cyma moulded rusticated surround, which supports a modillion cornice and a solid parapet. The northern arch is simpler and constructed of brick, but it features a keystone that displays the date and the company's initials.
