Description
The Western Portal to Beacon Hill Railway Tunnel is a tunnel portal built in 1849 for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. It is designed in a Neo-Norman style and constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings. The central round arched portal features two circular piers that support a double arch. The inner arch is adorned with simplified dogtooth moulding, while the outer arch showcases simplified beakhead moulding. The portal is set back, and the outer walls are battered, with large raised quoins at the inner corners. The outer ends of the portal have hexagonal corner turrets that include arrow slits. The entire facade is topped by a plain projecting parapet, which is supported by small round arches with plain corbels.
