Summary
| Description |
English: The south portal of the Bramhope Tunnel at grid reference SE24144077 in Bramhope, West Yorkshire, England. The rock, particularly at this end of the tunnel, proved difficult and expensive to blast during its construction in the 1850s. Flooding and subsidence also presented a constant threat - it has been estimated that in total some 1,563,480,000 gallons of water were pumped out of the workings during construction due to the gradient sloping downwards from this point as the tunnel snakes over two miles to the Arthington portal on the north side. |
