Tyne Pedestrian Tunnel 12/02/24

First outing of the drone, got some nice footage but obviously it would not fly in the tunnel underground! Discover the newly-restored Pedestrian and Cyclist Tunnels between Howdon and Jarrow. Travel back in time to the 1950s when the Tunnels first opened, creating a vital link for thousands of Tynesiders working in the shipyards and factories along the River Tyne. The Tyne Pedestrian and Cyclist Tunnels run under the River Tyne between Howdon and Jarrow in Tyne & Wear, England. Opened in 1951, heralded as a contribution to the Festival of Britain, they were Britain's first purpose-built cycling tunnels. The original cost was £833,000 and the tunnels were used by 20,000 people a day. They consist of two tunnels running in parallel, one for pedestrian use with a 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in) diameter, and a larger 3.7 m (12 ft 2 in) diameter tunnel for pedal cyclists. Both tunnels are 270 m (884 ft) in length, and lie 12 m (40 ft) below the river bed, at their deepest point. The tunnels are over 70 years old and are Grade II listed buildings.
