Hiking

The tunnel was built by the North Midland Railway to carry its line under the town. The North Portal is in stone, and consists of an elliptical arch with rounded mouldings, over which is an embattled parapet. The arch is flanked by tapering octagonal columns with moulded string courses, slit and arrow windows, and embattled parapets.
