Description
The North York Moors Railway Tunnel, approximately 130 metres long, dates back to around 1845 and is likely the work of John Cass Birkenshaw, who was the Engineer for the York and North Midland Railway Company. The tunnel is constructed from rockfaced sandstone. The north entrance features a horseshoe arch made of shaped voussoirs, flanked by battered square-section buttresses. Above the entrance, there is a moulded cornice that breaks over the buttresses, leading to a plain parapet. The west retaining wall is canted, raked, and coped, while the south entrance mirrors the design of the north entrance.
