Description
The North Portal to Clay Cross Railway Tunnel is a railway tunnel entrance built between 1838 and 1840 by George Stephenson. It features rock-faced stone and ashlar construction. The design includes two tapering octagonal towers with sloping ashlar bases, each adorned with moulded stringcourses at the tops of the bases and towers. The towers have slit and arrow windows, and above them are castellated embattlements. In the center, there is a large elliptical arch with rounded mouldings. Above the arch, projecting castellated parapets rest on moulded corbels. The tunnel was opened as part of the North Midlands Railway in 1840.
