    One of the UK's first electrified main line railways used to run through these tunnels. The old tunnels on the left (completed in 1845 and 1853) are blocked off. The "new" tunnel (completed in 1953, opened in 1954) is used to carry high voltage electricity cables across this part of the Peak District National Park.
