Description
The Kirton Railway Tunnel Entrance is a railway tunnel entrance built in 1849 for the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, designed by engineer Sir John Hawkshaw. It is constructed of red brick with sandstone ashlar dressings and showcases a Gothic Revival style. The structure features a retaining wall with square end-turrets and a central tunnel entrance that is flanked by attached cylindrical towers. The tunnel entrance is boldly moulded in a horse-shoe shape and is set beneath a projecting coped parapet supported by shaped brackets. The flanking towers are four stages high, with splayed bases that include round arched doorways, moulded bands, arrow slits, round-headed splayed slits, and projecting coped parapets on brackets. The end turrets have a plinth, flat-headed splayed slits, and similar projecting parapets.
