Description

This tunnel, located approximately 110 meters north-west of the Clock Tower, was likely built between 1860 and 1880, possibly by the architect William Andrews Nesfield. It features coursed rock-faced sandstone walls and measures about 16 meters in length and 1.5 meters in width, with a dog-leg turn in the middle. The tunnel leads to a man-made grotto, which is part of the pleasure grounds of Keele Hall, where an arched viaduct is situated.
