Description
Park Tunnel is a tunnel carriage drive that has been converted into a footway, connecting the Park Estate with Derby Road. It was started in 1844 and completed in 1855 by T.C. Hine of Nottingham for the fifth Duke of Newcastle. The tunnel features a round-arched, unlined rock-cut design and is approximately 125 meters long. The entrance on Derby Road is now covered by late 20th-century buildings. In the center of the tunnel, there is a large light shaft with rounded ends, measuring about 25 meters by 10 meters, which has rock-faced stone lining and parapet walls with chamfered ashlar coping. At the north end of the tunnel, there is a stone winder stair with stone piers and renewed iron handrails that leads to a gateway on Upper College Street. This tunnel is an important part of the Park Estate development, which was largely overseen by T.C. Hine as surveyor to the Newcastle Estates.
