Disused Sandsend & Kettleness Railway Tunnels. 29.12.22

** I take no responsibility for anyone who goes into these tunnels. They are dangerous places and the condition of the walls shows a collapse will be imminent ** Sandsend Tunnel is a tunnel on the former Whitby, Redcar and Middlesbrough Union Railway that was opened in 1883 and closed in 1958. The rail line that ran through it was originally intended to travel along the top of the cliffs, however some of the cliff fell into the sea whilst construction was suspended so the NER constructed two tunnels, the Sandsend Tunnel and the Kettleness Tunnel. The Sandsend Tunnel is the longer of two tunnels being 1,652 yards (0.94 miles) in length. It is predominantly straight but the north-western 300 yards incorporate a curve to the north. There are a total of five air shafts, two of which have nearby service galleries leading off horizontally to the cliffs which were used to dump spoil while carving out the tunnels, the air shafts were capped in 1958. The walls within Sandsend Tunnel are bowing quite badly now, indicating a large imminent collapse. Shot entirely on iPhone 13 Pro Max
