North York Moors Railway Pedestrian Subway Approximately 110 Metres Long

The North York Moors Railway pedestrian subway is an approximately 110-metre long tramway tunnel, built around 1834 by George Stephenson for the Whitby and Pickering Railway Company. It features bordered tooled sandstone. The north entrance has a battered retaining wall with a single round-arched entrance flanked by tapering cylindrical turrets on tall chamfered bases. Above the arch, there is a machicolated cornice with a castellated parapet between the turrets, which have flat circular caps. The retaining wall on the east side curves against the hillside and ends in a low cylindrical pier with a machicolated flat cap, while the wall to the west of the arch merges into the hillside. The south entrance mirrors the north entrance but lacks the castellated parapet above the arch. Originally, this subway served as the horse tramway tunnel for the Whitby to Pickering railway line, becoming obsolete around 1847 when it was replaced by a steam tunnel built alongside by the York and North Midland Railway Company.
