Took
a trip to Nottingham recently and, with the permission of the owners,
spent an enjoyable hour inside the city's disused Sneinton tunnel, in
use since the early 1960s as a firing range. The bulk of the tunnel
survives in its original state, with only the first few metres having
been converted into a two-storey affair – complete with spiral
staircase! The tunnel was part of the Nottingham Suburban Railway
that was in use from 1889 to 1951. This is the only surviving tunnel
on the route, as the other four are now buried.
Massive
thanks and respect to the guys from the shooting club who invited me
to visit – a great experience.
